Don't Go In The Ocean...

Rating: 10/10 (30 August 2013)

Classic film about a killer great white shark loose in a sea side community, and the efforts of the local police chief (Roy Scheider, engaging performance), shark expert(Richard Dreyfuss, also good) and fisherman Quint(Robert Shaw, unforgettable) to track it down and kill it, before the peaceful town of Amity goes bankrupt.
Extremely exciting, well constructed thriller has a first-rate script, and of course Steven Spielberg's exemplary direction, pulling a triumph out of a possible disaster(production was much delayed because the mechanical shark malfunctioned) Terrifying and supremely well-crafted thriller is a masterpiece, and kept millions of people out of the ocean for years afterward!
