Deep breath Five friends meet in a paradise hotel in the Dominican Republic. One of them has only a wedding on mind, the other has a psychological trauma, the third has a sense of guilt. But they will all be equal before sharks. . .
Honestly, I'm really surprised to see a movie like Jaws. The blood reef ("Something in the water") is a minimum grade. Seriously, what were you waiting for, Spielberg's masterpiece? Every summer, 2-3 films about sharks come out on the screens - yes, they are all similar to each other, yes, the script does not shine steep, and sharks are drawn. But you go to a movie like that for certain emotions, right? Paradise beaches are there! Carefree vacationers, there! Blood in the water and terror before the mouth of inexorable nature - there! So what else?
Specifically, in the case of this film, I was bribed by a bundle reminding me that it is hardly necessary to be seriously afraid of sharks, but bipedal predators, which can be found at least at the cinema, at least on the subway - easily. The main character Meg (I wonder if this is sarcasm in relation to the film with Statham?) becomes a victim of aggressive racists (they were not satisfied with her dark skin), and her best friend did not protect. And now, even in a warm resort, among friends, away from problems, she is going through a psychotrauma and clinging to an anti-stress app and positive affirmations, realizing that this will not help a damn thing. How do I understand her? It's just a voice on your phone, and while you're listening to it, in real life, something terrible can happen to you at any moment. And it happens. So my connection to heroin was instantaneous.
I understand that it would be useless in an advertising campaign to say that this is not about sharks. There are really few of them in the film, and they represent for the girls (who, of course, went where not to tell anyone) just one of a series of dangers. Blood loss, dehydration, one life jacket for five, thunderstorm... If we compare the film, it is definitely not with Jaws, but with the minimalistic and hopelessly cruel Open Sea. Nature is ruthless. Shit happens. And no stress-free app will protect you from sharks or bullies in the back door. Take a deep breath if you are still breathing. . .
