Take #33: The Shallows

Image result for the shallows imagesSpeaking literally, this was undoubtedly a Lively film .

Figuratively, it was anything but, although still very skilfully crafted, for all that. Blake Lively did a commendable job (quite unrecognisable from her bimbette part in Green Lantern) and the director was a close second.

This is a two-days-in-the-life-of diary kind of survival film, and isn't for the squeamish. I personally felt that, considering the locale, the cinematographer could have done a better job of capturing the surf, the spray, the sunsets, the sand and the shark.

Blake Lively was pretty good. But I've said that already.
