The Meg stars Jason Statham as Jonas a former deep sea rescue diver who lives with the guilt of having to let 2 of his friends die on a rescue mission that went wrong but when a deep sea research vessel is trapped 11,000 feet below the surface Jonas is brought back into action to rescue them but what he also finds is Megalodon a giant Shark that has now found its way to surface so the race is on to kill it before it kills hundreds of innocent people.
The Meg was okay, not a bad movie by any stretch but not that great of a one either Mr Statham is pretty good and nicely builds on his work in Spy and the Fate of the Furious, Rainn Wilson and Ruby Rose were a lot of fun as well and the film has some pretty neat shark effects that for once didn’t have me going “Stop showing me the Damn Shark.”
But what this movie lacks is any real bite and by that I mean lots of blood in the ocean floor there’s a little bit of it but not enough for my liking and if your going to make a Shark movie you have to push the boundaries a little bit and not be afraid to let its sink its teeth in and show that for Sharks the Blood is indeed the Life, playing it safe like this really doesn’t cut it anymore.
And so that was the Meg which was okay fun but lacked real bite, 2 out of 5.
