So we gravitated towards adult pulp, and Peter Benchley's Jaws saw its copies more traded and worn than anything else. It wasn't a ...read the complete Jaws movie review at Brilliant Observations on 1173 Films (Clayton Trapp)

Although a well-constructed movie, parents should remember its premise is to create entertainment from watching humans being chewed to death.
