Factual error: Near the beginning, when the crew is chasing the great white shark and trying to avoid hitting the raft, Captain Nolan yells to the pilot "Hard to port." The pilot turns the wheel to the right, which is starboard.

9.1/10. A pretty good take on Jaws only the real monster is Captain Nolan. After all, the Orca was merely swimming with his mate, unborn on the way, life looked good. Then this human monster comes along and takes everything from him. What else did he have but vengeance? I enjoyed it very much.

Rachel: I'd insisted on leaving South Harbor with them. I told myself that somehow I was responsible for Nolan's state of mind. That I had filled his head with romantic notions about a whale capable not only of profound grief, which I believed, but also of calculated and vindictive actions, which I found hard to be believe, despite all that had happened.
