As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for gripping survival tales, I can hardly contain my excitement about Blake Lively’s shark-infested thriller, “The Shallows,” now available on Netflix. Having braved the treacherous waters of countless video games myself, I can appreciate the raw determination and resourcefulness Nancy Adams (Lively) displays to make it back to shore.


Blake Lively’s acclaimed shark movie The Shallows has become available to stream on Netflix.

A survival-themed thriller directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, known for his work on “Orphan” and “Black Adam”, is now available to stream in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Offshore, Nancy finds herself in a terrifying encounter with a massive great white shark that sends her tumbling off her surfboard.

The film has been given a “Fresh” rating on the aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes. Critics have scored it 79%, but user reviews have shown a mix of opinions, resulting in a 59% rating.

Recently, Lively graced the screen in the movie version of “It Ends With Us”, a hit novel by Colleen Hoover that was brought to life by director Justin Baldoni.

During the promotional events for the movie, Lively has encountered criticism due to a few viewers claiming that her demeanor suggested a lack of genuine concern towards the movie’s portrayal of domestic violence.

In response to criticisms directed at Lively, the chair-CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment, Tony Vinciquerra, came to her defense and lauded her work, specifically praising that of Hoover.

He shared with The Hollywood Reporter that Blake, Colleen, and numerous other women poured a great deal of dedication into making this exceptional film. From the beginning, they worked tirelessly without thought for themselves to guarantee that the sensitive topic was treated sensitively and respectfully.

1. “People really enjoy this film. The dedication and effort Blake puts into addressing the topic of domestic violence is truly admirable. It’s a pleasure collaborating with Blake, and we hope to make 12 more films together.”

You can stream the movie “The Shallows” on Netflix in both the United Kingdom and Ireland. Meanwhile, “It Ends With Us” is currently playing in cinemas nationwide.
