Astounding and Frightening

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2002)

A classic summer movie that kept thousands of people out of the water, even on inland lakes! A winner from the first terrifying scene to the quiet, serene ending. Terrific acting from the entire cast, with so many memorable lines from a flawless script it would be impossible to quote them all. The musical score deservedly won an Oscar and is legendary for building the tension and providing a perfect backdrop to this simple story about a sheriff confronting a great white shark eating tourists and locals in the waters around his island. You'll be watching this one from the edge of your seat.
