When a dangerous great white shark threatens a seaside community, its police chief struggles to protect residents and visitors as the town weighs safety against its dependence on tourism. He joins forces with a marine biologist and a seasoned shark hunter in a tense effort to stop the attacks.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like tense creature thrillers, memorable characters, and a slow-building sense of danger; Not for you if dated effects or occasional slower stretches make older movies hard to enjoy.
