One of the Greatest Films of All Time

Rating: 10/10 (2 March 2009)

What makes Steven Spielberg one of cinema's best directors is his unique ability to consistently inject character development into all of his films, regardless of what genre they are categorized in. Jaws provides the perfect showcase for his talent.
The movie transcends its B-movie roots due to the high quality of the performances. Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, and Robert Shaw not only deliver refined, three-dimensional performances, but have terrific chemistry together. Jaws could very well contain the best ensemble acting ever - it rivals The Godfather and 12 Angry Men.
That Jaws is a first-rate thriller as well, makes it a film to be treasured.
