The Meg

“The Meg” is Jason Statham versus a giant shark. If the mere idea of that sold you, then you are the demographic for this film and you will have a good time. Everyone else should probably stay away.

The shark movie has been a staple of the summer movie season since “Jaws” ushered in the era of the blockbuster movie in 1975. In its wake, three sequels and knock-offs like “Orca” and “Piranha” followed.
