Matt Roush says...
Just when you thought it was safe to relax with the TV on a quiet Friday night … those ominous beats of John Williams‘ classic score remind you that danger lurks under the water in Steven Spielberg’s 1975 classic shark thriller, which launched an era of summer blockbusters. Spielberg introduces the movie, airing as a three-hour prime-time event (starting at 8/7c) on the 50th anniversary of the exact day the movie opened in packed theaters. Jaws holds up a half-century later, with sustained suspense and splendid character work from Roy Scheider as Amity’s harried police chief Martin Brody, Richard Dreyfuss as rambunctious oceanographer Matt Hooper and Robert Shaw as grizzled shark hunter Quint. (All four Jaws films are streaming on Peacock.)
