A terrifyingly real film

Rating: 8/10 (30 January 2003)

This film kept thousands of people out of the ocean for several years. (And then it's sequel came out!) This is a cinematic triumph - what else do you expect from Steven Spielberg? This film sparked more shark-mania than any other shark story in history (before or since). Peter Benchley has actually expressed regret at having written this (and it's commercial success) since it sparked shark genocide on a huge scale. This film is so well-made that it had that sort of impact. The cast is excellent, the story first-rate and Spielberg's execution of the story is unmatched!
