Theres an unexpected side effect: the critters got smarter and meaner. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 05/31/2005 Starring: Thomas Jane Michael Rapaport Run time: 105 minutes Rating: R Director: Renny Harlin Amazon.com: With a voracious trio of mako sharks wreaking havoc, Deep Blue Sea dares to up the ante on Jaws, but director Renny Harlin trades the nuanced suspense of Spielberg's 1975 blockbuster for the trickery of the digital age. In other words, why build genuine terror when you can show ill-fated humans getting torn into bloody chunks? The aforementioned makos have been lab rats in an effort to harvest a miracle cure for Alzheimer's disease from the brains of sharks, but the research has an unfortunate side effect: the sharks get smarter, and they're determined to break out of Aquatica, the deep-sea complex where they've been penned. Model-actress Saffron Burrows plays the researcher; Thomas Jane pulls double-duty as shark expert and action hunk; Samuel L. Jackson's the corporate sponsor who chooses the worst time for an Aquatica tour; and rapper LL Cool J is nicely cast as Aquatica's cook and comic relief. Michael Rapaport, Jacqueline McKenzie, and Stellan Skarsgård round out the cast, most of whom are turned into shark food as the makos turn Aquatica into a floating junkyard. Harlin takes devilish pleasure in providing sudden, unexpected shocks--no small feat in such a derivative thriller--and as a series of action set-pieces, Deep Blue Sea never disappoints. It's inevitable that Burrows should end up in her underwear like Sigourney Weaver in Alien, but even then the movie offers a credible reason for the strip-down; that Deep Blue Sea can be simultaneously ridiculous and sensible is just another one of its shlocky charms. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not the best shark movie ever made but....Lets face it, it's not Jaws, it was never supposed to be but as far as shark movie's go, I don't think Deep Blue Sea was all that bad, I mean come on the scene with Samuel L. Jackson? That was pretty cool. Rating:  - A great underappreciated filmLook, im not ripping on Jaws here in any way. Jaws is great, it literally caused mass panic people believed what they see. Here not so much, However, this movie is amazing. The acting is superb, and not cheesy, the storyline flows together, and its action packed. This movie constantly suprised me, and in my opinion its the best shark movie ever made. I love Jaws, but at times its too slow, plus this film has the best scene of all time, with Samuel L. jackson Rating:  - Not your best shark movie everGenetically engineered sharks make a meal to go out of their keepers. This movie even has the skinny English actress star disrobe to shock a shark. I suppose some people like this kind of movie, but actually drug companies are more into killing chimps than sharks. Anyway every body thinks they may have been paying for bad experimental science. As far as I know very few scientific projects get out of hand like this and the ones that do are government ones and ...

Rating: - Best "monster"-movie in a long timeAfter "jaws" there was long time nothing in cinema in this genre of shark or monster movies with an interesting story and enough suspense. I am a big fan of Samuel L. Jackson, who is once again outstanding in this movie. I also liked the performance of Thomas Jane, who gave his character enough credibility. The movie is not 100% realistic, but which one of these movies is? 4 stars for suspense and interesting story. Browse for similar items by category:
