Unquestionably, Whalefall's premise is horrifying. A man gets swallowed whole by a sperm whale, and is faced with the impossible task of extricating himself from a fleshy prison. It's the full Jonah conundrum. The movie, though extraordinarily implausible, does follow some rough logic. This is a unique concept, and leaps towards the front of the "Swallowed whole by a monster" trope, but how does it hold up as a narrative? There are moments of absolutely white knuckle thrills, but also some eye-rolling situations that are... a little hard to swallow.
