47 METERS DOWN (Theatrical/Television/Internet Release USA 2017)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.9|5.0 Starsììì

47 Meters Down—tension makes this movie work—reminds us of the Jaws series because it involves its audience with the lives of young people in peril. This shark danger movie heavily dramatizes the scenes to nearly rival Jaws movies. Acting talent includes some very good work by Claire Holt and Mandy Moore.
