A true classic

Rating: 8/10 (29 January 2006)

Jaws is a modern masterpiece from a a legendary director and producer. The story moves at a fast pace as (as was unusual at a time when most horror films had a lot drawn lead up to the 1st killing) the 1st death is within the 1st 5 minutes. The acting especially from Schneider and shaw is tremendous and for his 1st film Spielberg really pulled out all the stops.
The film relies heavily on the build up of suspense and does this perfectly and will entertain legions of people for years to come. A highly recommended and enjoyable piece of film-making (bar the plastic shark!)
