Everything you expect out of a shark movie is here. The film delivers on that summer-fun promise, while also exceeding expectations in terms of action and set-pieces. There are funny moments, mostly in the dialogue, and Jason Statham saves the film from drowning in the deep blue sea. Unfortunately the production does not dare to go further and remains at times as a B movie. "The Meg" is one of the summer's most fun, most mindless blockbusters that you love to hate. The movie is certainly no "Jaws" but thanks to a diverse cast of characters you can actually care about and some well-placed action scenes, "The Meg" is much better than it ever had any right to be. Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
