Rating: 10/10 (30 August 2011)

'Jaws' is A Masterpiece! A Cinematic Gem, that blows you over as a viewer. This Box-Oiffce Mega Blockbuster, is Sharply Directed, Wonderfully Written & Greatly Acted.
'Jaws' Synopsis: The police chief of Amity Island, a fictional summer resort town, tries to protect beach-goers from a giant man-eating great white shark by closing the beach, only to be overruled by the town council, which wants the beach to remain open to draw a profit from tourists during the summer season. After several attacks, the police chief enlists the help of a marine biologist and a professional shark hunter.
'Jaws' is a winner all the way. Peter Benchley & Carl Gottlieb's Screenplay is so arresting & captivating, that it hardly gives you a chance to move your eyes from the screen. Steven Spielberg Directs this horror-thriller, Sharply and proves his legendary status, yet again. Cinematography is excellent. Editing & Art Design, are good.
Performance-Wise: Roy Scheider is superb, as ever. Robert Shaw is quite good. Richard Dreyfuss is outstanding and to a large-extend, steals the show. Lorraine Gary, Murray Hamilton & Carl Gottlieb are perfect.
On the whole, 'Jaws' is indeed a time-less classic and a true cinematic gem. Two Big Thumbs Up!
