Not much to say about one of the greatest thrillers ever made. The king of the blockbuster gets just about everything right in his first big hit. Scheider, Dreyfuss and especially Shaw are all fantastic. The shark has lost some of it's jaw-dropping terror over the years, but it still scares the crap out of you whenever it comes out of the water (the scene with Hooper in the shark cage is particularly terrifying). Only loses points in the few parts where it drags a bit.
