The Meg tries to be the next Jaws copycat, but like so many others, it proves to be nothing more than a pale imitation. Not even Jason Statham has enough bite to save it from being dopey and cheesy through and through. Statham stars as Jonas Taylor, a diver called by a research facility to dive deep into the Mariana Trench. I guess they never got the memo that James Cameron already beat them to the punch, but I digress.
