Such a good bitch can't keep you.
"Jaws" in 1975 was to Spielberg, and probably the old version of "Alien" was to Ridley Scott: Although they opened a new page in the field of thrillers with new narrative methods, but The series IP is not in your own hands, and you have become a little girl who can be dressed up. It has nothing to do with you, and it has no use for eggs. Compared with the more difficult-to-operate space horror, the shark horror comes every few years. Either humans are killed or humans are killed. After a while, the shark is full of wisdom again ("Deep Sea Shark"), another while the shark descends from the sky ("Shark Dragon"), and another while the shark becomes evil again (various). However, these shark movies have one thing in common-
that is bad.
Can it become the next Spielberg with the logic and ideas of the third-rate novels in the 1960s? More than wishful thinking.
It is important to know what you are doing.
However, just as "Monsters" in 2010 broke the existing image of "monster movies are bad", "Shark Beach" is also likely to become the name of the shark thriller. From the starring role to the poster to the trailer, "Shark Beach" looks like a chick movie welcoming the summer vacation, but in fact it is a movie that hasn't appeared in a long time and has a very clever overall structure. B grade film.
Admittedly, this is not another survival movie such as "Jaws" or "127 Hours" or "Gravity". The ambition is not much bigger, but "Shark Beach" tries to show some quite innovative visuals. Style, while creating a unique casual atmosphere. If you ignore the electronic music of the surfing scene and some unnecessary slow motion, the overall performance of "Shark Beach" is still remarkable. The environment setting and emotion cultivation are direct and effective. The story is smart and practical. It can provide the audience with a sense of identity and experience the stressful dilemma of the character.
"Shark Beach" did not make any major breakthroughs in film techniques, but it did provide the audience with a strong argument: it's okay to never go to the wild beach, and it may be a moth.


As one of the first leading actors in the Chinese drama "Gossip Girl" in 2012, Blake Lively and her former co-actors have fallen into an embarrassing and priceless position. Time is not forgiving, and if a good face is not converted into suitable capital in time, it is very dangerous for young actresses. Don’t you see Amanda Seyfried, who was in 1985, has become a must-have role in musicals, not to mention the transformation of the three commons and "Deep Throat Love Lace"; in 1986, Megan Fox was trained by Bombshell. A generation of Sex Icon; Emma Stone, who was in the 1988 blockbuster, played a round, and became the new muse of Woody Allen; the big cousin, Jennifer Lawrence, who was in the 90s, played the Oscar in the blockbuster, and the pornographic photos are bursting. Up the world. Not to mention the Pleistocene "Game of Thrones" Long Ma two ya three silly. If there was an interception before, there were chasing soldiers. If you don't come up with some real materials and get a similar representative to make it, you can only be reduced to the second female number in the Chinese co-produced film.
Blake Lively, who has a classic face and an extraordinary face, has almost disappeared since 2011 and Ryan Reynolds fell in love with the masterpiece "Green Lantern", but after starring in "The Lovers at the End of Time" in 2015, it still proved that the year. Nearly 30, I can handle the role and image of the youth fan. In 2016, "Shark Beach" can be said to be a very considerable challenge for her personal and even the entire group of young actresses. The image of Queen S in "Shark Beach" is quite passive, except for the dialogue in the early establishment of the character, there is almost no dialogue, and most of the time it responds to emergencies rather than active confrontation, relying on medical students and surfing The background setting of the fans and the shark started a battle of wits. Today, with the proliferation of feminism, it is still very good to see such a female protagonist in the form of a traditional thriller vase and a strong woman.
The Spanish director Zomi Silla, who has created many Liam Nissen action films in recent years, made a name for himself with "Orphan Grudge" and "Horror Wax Museum" in his early years. This time, he blended horror elements into "Shark Beach". In ", successfully transformed a script that would easily become mediocre. The film alternates between routine routines and unexpected surprises directly, making the heroine's actions seem less monotonous and boring. Although part of the plot seems far-fetched, and the ending is somewhat real, it does not prevent "Shark Beach" from becoming a highly watchable thriller with the courage to face blood and thighs.
This shark thriller successfully aroused the audience’s original fear. Blake Lively contributed a good performance and a swimsuit show and thigh slit. The CG effect of the shark is not as silly and abnormal as similar movies, and it provides a quite rich view. Movie fun, but this does not mean that "Shark Beach" will reach the height of "Jaws" on any level. The plot is extremely lacking in drama, and the overall tone is somewhat contradictory. The soundtrack switches between joy and tension at will, unable to maintain a sense of suspense, and the unbeautiful and uncontrolled abuse of slow motion is also a bit tired.


In general, "Shark Beach" is a very rare and good shark/survival thriller since "Jaws". Blake Lively and his streamlined lines, a large number of limbs and expressions control the entire movie. It is difficult for the habitual young women to make vases. The movie is only 85 minutes, but it makes the most of the plot stimulus that works well. Despite the lack of emotion and satisfaction, it is enough to make the colleagues of "Shark Tornado" learn and admire.
To a certain extent, "Shark Beach" is like Blake Lively himself, with a well-proportioned figure and a good face. In most cases, Page is competent for roles and tasks, but it really made some bad decisions. Affected the overall performance.
"Shark Beach" is good, but certainly not excellent.
But as far as Shark Beach is concerned, good is good.
