The Meg

Jason Statham is a deep sea diver who lost a couple friends on a rescue mission. He claims to have encountered a massive something that caused the loss, but no one believed him. So when he is asked to do another rescue mission (this time his ex-wife), he carries all that baggage. But he does it and in the process is exonerated for his crazy as the rescue releases a Megaladon into the pacific ocean. And now that he has done that, he has to kill it to save (literally) everyone. Pretty straight forward plot and action sequences, moves along with a nice pace and has the appropriate mix of convenient coincidence and marginally plausible capabilities (both human and tech). 

3 stars (out of 5)
