Reality REALLY Bites!!

Rating: 10/10 (17 August 1999)

Absolutely classic re-telling of the "Moby Dick" story by Spielberg. Ever notice that in this seminal "action" flick, the action STOPS for about 4 minutes for Quint's monologue. It's the key sequence in the movie, written to perfection and not an Oscar nomination in sight for Robert Shaw who created one of the most indelible images in motion pictures.
This movie pretty much set the standard for all the crappy "shock" flicks that we've had to endure for the last couple of decades. Nothing since that even comes close. And don't bet the family farm on the upcoming "Deep Blue Sea". I've got a bad feeling that this new set of teeth is going to have a whole bunch of cavities, too. You can't improve on the original package, folks!
