Vincenzo de Divitiis
Nancy es una joven estudiante estadounidense que decide irse de vacaciones a México para visitar una playa aislada donde solía ir su madre, recientemente desaparecida. Acompañada en coche por un hombre del lugar y dejada sola por su amiga aún recuperándose de una resaca, la hermosa turista llega al lugar encantador y comienza a cabalgar las gigantescas olas con su tabla de surf, su verdadera gran pasión. Un paisaje impresionante y un divertimento sin límites parecen ser los protagonistas de un día soñado para Nancy hasta que ocurre un evento que alterará su estancia y pondrá en riesgo su vida: la chica, de hecho, se acerca a un gran animal marino muerto a mordiscos por un enorme y voraz tiburón blanco que interpreta el gesto de la surfista como un intento de invadir su territorio de caza. Así comienza el más clásico de los duelos a muerte entre el hombre y la naturaleza con la protagonista que tiene en un peñasco y en la marea baja las únicas armas con las que enfrentar a la casi invencible bestia feroz. En 1975, un aún joven Steven Spielberg lleva a la pantalla una de sus obras más famosas, "Tiburón". Pasado a la historia del cine, la película marca el inicio del género del beast-movie que ve precisamente en el gigantesco y feroz cazador de los mares una de las figuras destacadas. A partir de ese momento, de hecho, las pantallas se llenan de animales de todo tipo que atacan a los hombres tanto por hambre como para castigar la negligencia del ser humano hacia la naturaleza. Docenas y docenas de títulos, entre los que se encuentran "Piraña", "Cujo", "La orca asesina" para citar solo algunos, que sin embargo a la larga han generado una saturación del género que se ha vuelto aburrido y también poco interesante desde el punto de vista comercial, si se piensa que muchas películas han sido relegadas directamente a la distribución en DVD. Sin embargo, desde hace algún tiempo, el viento parece haber cambiado de nuevo y, gracias al éxito de un producto discutido pero igualmente innovador como "Tornado de tiburones", el interés por los tiburones parece haberse despertado. Consecuencia directa de esto es esta "Paradise Beach- Dentro de la pesadilla", un thriller acuático muy tenso y realizado con gran maestría por un excelente representante del cine de género contemporáneo como Jaume Collet-Serra, ya conocido por los aficionados por el remake de "La máscara de cera" y la excelente "Huérfana". Cuando se aborda una película de tiburones, el peligro más común es caer en la repetición de la que se hablaba antes y contar una historia predecible y trillada minuto a minuto. Y sin embargo Collet-Serra logra ampliamente evitar este riesgo gracias a un argumento que, salvo por algún momento de calma igualmente legítimo y perdonable, viaja sobre los raíles de una tensión altísima y aprovecha maravillosamente cada pequeño elemento a disposición, incluso una simple roca y una gaviota indefensa. Admirable también el cuidado en crear un tiburón muy realista e inquietante no solo por su aspecto y sus enormes fauces, sino también por su marcada astucia con la que sostiene una guerra antes que nada psicológica con la desafortunada Nancy. El resto luego lo hace el extraordinario paisaje paradisíaco que se convierte en un perfecto teatro de terror y muerte del cual queda fuera cualquier tipo de incursión en el gore, como se esperaría en estos casos, a demostración de cómo la tensión sea el ingrediente principal en el que apunta el director español. Sin embargo, la película no está exenta de algunos pequeños defectos, sobre todo la inclusión de personajes secundarios que afectan el carácter intimista de la trama e invaden un ring ideal reservado a los dos protagonistas Nancy y el tiburón. Descuidos que no afectan en conjunto el buen resultado de esta "Paradise Beach- Dentro de la pesadilla" que ve también la consagración definitiva de una sorprendente Blake Lively que, además de destacar por la belleza de su físico en traje de baño, demuestra saber llevar toda la película sobre sus hombros como lo haría una gran actriz. Collet-Serra ha acertado de nuevo y su película está destinada a permanecer como un buen punto de referencia para un género, el beat-movie, en leve resurgimiento - o al menos eso se espera.

The Movie Waffler

All you should need to make a good movie is a girl and a shark, but Serra fails to deliver the basics, instead fashioning a movie that too often resembles a female oriented riff on an '80s Old Spice commercial. The Shallows is a damp squib.

"Jaume Collet-Serra’s woman-vs-wild thriller is beautiful, bigscreen Hollywood nonsense that manoeuvres/manipulates the viewer into the kind of submissive state only the finest summer crowd-pleasers can achieve..."

Very close to the shore, yet too far and dangerous to attempt.

I'm sure you have seen shark attack films like 'Jaws', 'Deep Blue Sea' et cetera, and yep this another one to add to that collection. But this was something very neatly done, I mean for the most of the parts. Looked so real, so I thought it might end up top among its similar theme. In the end, I was little disappointed, because of the shark. The portrayal of shark was very natural, until the last half an hour. Then it becomes the common film gimmick when the animal was obsessed to kill its target at any cost.

I am a huge animal fan, but I have never seen a live shark in my life and that does not mean I don't know anything about them. Thanks to the nature television networks and what I saw in this film was very disappointing if you love wild animals. I am not supporting the shark here, I'm just talking about its behaviour. It was not right, other than that, I definitely enjoyed the film. In fact, except the final few minutes, since the shark got pumped up, I had no issue and the best shark attack film. But the final battle ruined overall favour I'm going to give to it, what I thought this film deserved.

Great location, and Blake Lively was unbelievably awesome. In the initial part, she was very sexy, but once the narration shifted its focus on surfing and later shark attack, everything changed. The entire film was edgy, I think very nicely written screenplay. It was a limited cast film and nearly the whole film takes place very close to the shore. A good start, neatly maintained mid part, but a below par conclusion, that's what I think about the film. Slightly missed to be a great film in the line of '127 Hours'. In fact, this looks like a sea version of that film. But I still recommend it, because it's worth.

As a shark fanatic (thanks, Jaws), I was excited to see The Shallows. When I first saw the trailer, I thought the concept--more 127 Hours than Jaws--was interesting: A single person, alone on a rock, trapped a mere 100 or so yards offshore, in shark-infested waters.

Most shark movies follow the Jaws formula to a T: Shark attacks a bather, someone in position of authority decides something must be done and the beaches should be closed, someone of higher authority thwarts that attempt, more people die, our hero finally has to confront the monster.

But The Shallows produced a new and fresh take on the same old fish tale. The first half of the movie is similar to Open Water, relying on tension and little fanfare. Then, the shark explodes onto the screen for a few moments, and the movie suddenly becomes a high octane thriller. Basically, though the shark is the main antagonist of this story, all the scenes with the shark in them are much less interesting. I was more engaged with Blake Lively and that damn seagull. She was likable, and I bought into the survival story and was really rooting for her.

There were moments, when The Shallows relied on suspense, that the film become Hitchcockian in tone. We know the shark is out there, but we can't see him. The second we do, the suspense dies instantly. Parts of the movie were small and intimate, much like an independent film. And those were the strengths.

But it almost feels as if the director wanted to do a mash up of a simple suspenseful stalking movie, combined with elements of a survival movie. And again, all that worked for me.

But the sensationalism of the shark stuff was over the top in my opinion. It gave the movie an uneven feel. It was, at times, both a suspenseful stalker type movie with survivalism thrown in, and, then, seemingly out of nowhere, it became an over-the-top summer blockbuster type movie.

It gives it the look of a movie where director and producer didn't see eye to eye. It really seems like the shark action sequences were forced into the movie. They just didn't fit the overall tone. That's this movie's biggest downfall. Yes, the shark has to be there, yes he has to be dangerous. But the way it is presented through the film needs to fit the overall tone of the movie. At one point, the shark eats three people in the course of-- what?--an hour or so? So what was set up, was a small movie. An intimate movie. Something closer to The Blair Witch Project or Open Water, but what we got in the end, was something closer to Friday the 13th.

This movie could have been so much more, by being so much less. Excess is not always best.

In all fairness, The Shallows could have been much worse too. The things that did work, worked well--well enough that with some inventive direction, could have carried the film by themselves. But alas, the over the top violence and sensationalism trumped suspense and creative storytelling, which downgrades The Shallows from something special and unique, to just a "good" movie.

The locations were beautiful, and seeing them in 4K HD on a huge screen was quite impressive.

An exceptional movie involving a hungry shark

Plot is simple yet so catchy and interesting. After a few minutes you will start to care about the main protagonist, so much that you will cross your fingers hoping for the best. Everything (or almost everything) is going to feel realistic, and there is not anything wrong with the main antagonist ... it is totally well made.

Great performance by Blake Lively (Nancy Adams) too. I will also mention the impressive landscapes because they literally left me speechless. I would have appreciated a more detailed background story but I will not complain as this movie was a really great experience.

Watch it, especially if you are into suspense and sharks!

Overall : Blake Lively takes a shallow premise and elevates a basic shark movie to the next level with her excellent performance.

I was skeptical that an entire movie set on a buoy could be any good, but I was wrong! The Shallows is a sensational shark movie! The whole film fell on Blake Lively's shoulders to carry it all with her acting, and she delivered. The tension, bravery, fear, and struggle show through Lively's portrayal of Nancy with crystal clarity. As a shark movie fan, this one has depth 😉.

There's quite a bit of menace from the photography and at least the shark looks real as it terrorises the stranded "Nancy" (Blake Lively) in a small inlet a matter of a few hundred yards from the shore. Naturally, she's left all of her stuff on the beach so is completely incommunicado after a passing Great White decides it wants a snack. Luckily there are a few big rocks and even a chunky metal reef marker for her to shelter on as she prays that someone will come to her aide. Someone, that is, with sense enough to wonder what she is doing stuck on a rock and not just to get into the water, blithely and finally. Though I'm not sure just how physically possible the denouement is, I did really like those few seconds and to be fair, Lively does manage to convey a decent degree of desperation as the tenacious shark gets more and more peckish, angry and innovative. Can she survive? Well on that front the jeopardy level is precisely zero and the whole film is easily half an hour too long, but there are still some squeaky moments and it's worth a watch, if only to remind us just how vulnerable and out of our depth mankind is in a nature where our technology doesn't count.
