Positives... 
- You know why you're seeing this. It's a Jason Statham vs Giant Shark movie. Oh, and to see people getting eaten by that Giant Shark. 
- Unsurprisingly, this movie is not trying to be a masterpiece, but it's big set-pieces involving the shark are entertaining enough to watch. 
- It's decent to check out in 3D (yeah, I actually saw it in that gimmicky format). 
- If you wanted a shark movie to just be what you expect it to be, then don't worry, this one follows a lot of predictable cliches, plot tropes, and have very familiar character archetypes, associated with what you expect a shark movie to be. 

Negatives... 
- This movie follows a lot of predictable cliches, plot tropes, and have very familiar character archetypes. If you're looking for something different or more prestigious, this is not it. 
- There's one particular plot trope that I truly truly wished was not part of this movie, but unfortunately it's constantly forced on us multiple times over. 
- Throw logic out of this movie, because it's only there when it's convenient. 
- Could have been spectacularly trashy if it went for a full R-Rating.
