A paycheck film...

Sometimes you just gotta know where to draw the line. Unfortunately the producers at Universal didn't know when to say when and decided that they could put out...just one more Jaws movie. Honestly when this movie came out I was only 10 and I thought that the concept of Jaws was awesome. When I saw this in 87 it was one of the coolest movies ever.
20 years later I have come to realize that what I thought was awesome as a 10 year old may not always hold true. While I believe Michael Caine has made some amazing choices over the last 10 years in deciding what films he should be part of, I can only say that not only did he seem out of place in this movie, but it seems as though he must have done it only under contractual obligation or maybe he just needed another paycheck and this was a quick and dirty solution.
The first couple Jaws movies are great and if you want to preserve the memory of how good they are don't waste your time watching this one.
