Maneater Review: A Silly Shark Attack Movie

Jaws is a great movie (maybe the greatest movie ever made, if you're Quentin Tarantino). There had been so-called 'shark movies' before it (from The White Death in 1936 to Shark! in 1969), and even one masterpiece (Blue Water, White Death from 1971), but it was Jaws that seemed to popularize the concept. There have been several this year alone, including the pretty good The Reef: Stalked, and now there's Maneater, from writer/director Justin Lee. Unfortunately, this film falls into the same trap as many others, misunderstanding what made Jaws so great.
