What a surprise, a film that trots out a tired old bore-fest about a shark attack on a yuppie party on a lake turns out to be derivative, cliched and pedestrian.
It shows just how those basics are in those Steven Speilberg classics - the characters, the plot, the importance of a story. They may have been hidden behind the towering effect, but that doesn't mean that someone with another spin on the same topic can get away with leaving them out entirely.
The fish was smaller, the victim was less important, the whole thing was just less of a production.
