If you can excuse Jaws for being unrealistic, why not The Shallows?
The Shallows is a REALLY well constructed thriller. Blake Lively gives a good performance and the film does a great job of maintaining a sense of dread throughout.
With all of that said, I keep seeing people say "It's not realistic" but then praising Jaws. Jaws is no doubt an amazing movie, but it is not at all realistic. A shark sticking around one beach and then continually stalking a single boat for multiple days?? How is that acceptable but a shark stalking a continuously bleeding woman stuck on a rock for around a day is too much? Some of you are serious hypocrites.
