Jaws | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Most movies that come within a mile of this one's technical expertise hardly bother with such matters as logical human motivations, strong and unhammy acting and believable characters. Jaws, on the contrary, is rich in all of these.

In what may be the best example of the "disaster" movie trend thus far, the setting is not a towering inferno nor a crippled airliner but a quiet resort town terrorized by an ancient, primitive and universal fear.

The Marquis de Sade was offended by what he called the cruel indifference of nature... And it is this same indifference that makes Jaws so terrifying and sickening.

The novelty is thin; and if it weren't for the huge national publicity campaign which tells you I'm out of my mind, I'd say it's routine stuff.

The first of an anticipated series of summer blockbuster films, Jaws pricks a psychological nerve, and is commercial, gory, and well enough produced to draw turn-away crowds.
