47 Meters Down: Uncaged review – An unimaginative mess
I could not wait for this insipid bunch of characters to meet their maker in the movie.

Horror stories about demon fish from the watery depths of our oceans attacking humans are nothing new.
Steven Spielberg made a meal – and a fortune – from Jaws in the ’70s and a slew of similar type escapades has invaded cinema screens ever since.
47 Meters Down: Uncaged is a sloppy production, filmed through a murky lens, involving four stupid teenagers (Sophie Nélisse, Corinne Foxx, Brianne Tju, Sistine Stallone) who go diving in an uncharted territory.

While happily swimming through the underwater ruins of a past Mayan civilisation, they encounter a deadly shark species that has survived in these tunnels – and these creatures are hungry for fresh meat.
There are no redeeming features in this unimaginative mess of a movie and I could not wait for this insipid bunch of characters to meet their maker.
