Review
Along with John Williams's now signature ominous score, Steven Spielberg's shark classic is a celebrated piece of cinematic icon. From the film's distinctively rubbery, pre-Jurassic Park shark models to the effective use of musical score to achieve critical suspense and tension, these are memorable essences conceived by Spielberg's compelling direction. The third-act involving Scheider's heroic role Brody, the bellicose Quint (played by Robert Shaw) and Dreyfus' shark fanatic Matt Hooper, lives up to its crescendo with an intense shark battle. A great Hollywood gem with components that we seldom find in today's filmmaking world.
