JAWS = Best Man vs Nature Flicks EVER!
Steven Spielberg did just about everything right in this splendid popcorn entertainment of a newly appointed police chief, cocky young ichthyologist, and a grizzled veteran fisherman who set out to locate and kill a great white shark that's been terrorizing a small New England island vacation community. The thrills and shocks are elegantly paced with an engaging adventure and enhanced by beautifully wrought performances by the three leading men; Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, and Robert Shaw. Of course the famous John Williams score is heart palpitating as are the wonderfully orchestrated action scenes of mass chaos, underwater encounters with the deadly fish and the hair-raising climax! All in all - one of the best of the Spielberg cannon!
