'You're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat'

Rating: 9/10 (14 February 2007)

*Jaws SPOILERS*
When a young woman, Chrissie Watkins (Susan Backline) is killed while swimming in the sea that surrounds the quiet island of Amity, Sheriff Martin Brody (Riy Scheider) suspects a shark, and wants to close the beaches.
The greedy town mayor (Murray Hamilton), though, decides not to, and another person, young Alex Kintner (Jeffrey Voorhees) is eaten.
A shark is caught, but when a third person (Ted Grossman) dies because of shark bites, it's clear it wasn't the right one.
So Brody, along with 'sharkologist' Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) and tough fisher Quint (Robert Shaw) embarks on a mission to find and kill the shark (played by a prop shark called 'Bruce') before it kills any more people.
Based upon a book by Peter Benchley, 'Jaws' is probably the movie with the most impressive soundtrack (everybody remembers the 'dun-dun-dundundundundundundundundundun' and associates it with looming danger) and one of the scariest 'shark' movies, if not THE scariest.
Steven Spielberg creates another classic, right after his spectacular debut with 'Duel' (notice that the shark's death groan is the same that was made by the dying truck at the end of that movie).
The acting is appropriate, and the mood is never broken; but don't watch this before going to the beach...
Jaws: 9/10.
