It’s a hot summer on Amity Island, a small community whose main business is its beaches. When new Sheriff Martin Brody discovers the remains of a shark attack victim, his first inclination is to close the beaches to swimmers. This doesn’t sit well with Mayor Larry Vaughn and several of the local businessmen. Brody backs down to his regret as that weekend a young boy is killed by the predator. The dead boy’s mother puts out a bounty on the shark and Amity is soon swamped with amateur hunters and fisherman hoping to cash in on the reward. A local fisherman with much experience hunting sharks, Quint, offers to hunt down the creature down for a hefty fee. Soon Quint, Brodie and Matt Hooper from the Oceanographic Institute are at sea hunting the Great White shark. As Brodie succinctly surmises after their first encounter with the creature, they’re going to need a bigger boat.

Steven Spielberg’s lengthy historical courtroom drama has its moments of pure visual poetry, but it fails to ignite the same moral outrage that Schindler’s List so poignantly evoked. In 1839, a shipload of men from Sierra Leone who are destined to become slaves overpower their captors, killing all but two crew members needed to navigate them back to Africa. Betrayed, intercepted in American waters and charged with murder, the men’s only hope for justice lies with the Abolitionist movement and an inexperienced lawyer. Anthony Hopkins and Matthew McConaughey lead the all-star cast, and there’s an amazing debut by Djimon Hounsou as the leader of the captives. Although flawed, this chilling portrayal of outright racism further reveals Spielberg’s skill as an expert film-maker unafraid of tackling heavy political issues.
