What criticism says
The villain meets the expectations of the classic psychopath that acts without regard. The protagonist is also what could be called the “classic blonde”, that which was once Hitchcock’s leit motiv in all her filmography, with the difference that this is very fierce. Sharks are not the monster such as films in which they directly attack tourists, in that case, the antagonist is responsible for provoking them with their victims, in an experiment that will put the public to cling to the armchair and, of course, to be surprised with the unexpected twists of the script.
