Review: I loved this movie! My brother saw it with his friends when it came out, and I loved movies like these but was not able to see rated R movies, but my mother made & exception because my bro saw it first and said that it good, this movie is probbly the most realalistic when it comes to the sharks, shark attack scene's and special effect's, the cast was great, and the cast is & inportent part of a movie, with a bad cast it reck's the whole movie, but everything about this movie rocked, the shark's are so real, it's scary, I'm still shaky about going in the water, the shark's are anamatronic, outside of the really gruseum attack's, that's another thing, if you like movies like this and want violence, gut's, blood, gore and scary diolouge, then this movie will be your favorite, I own the movie, and just to let you know about the badder stuff in it, such as Profanity and Sexual content here's the 411, they have the F- word in it 4 times, though on of the time it is not clear because the man is gasping for air when he say's it, it has G-D- in it like 3 times, (YUCK!) and other not so bad languge that you can watch on t.v., and as far as sexual content, there is none, except when a girl takes her clothes off so her clothes don't catch on fire, but she's in her underwear, you could see that part on t.v., that's another thing, DON'T WATCH IT ON T.V.! They butcher the scene's, it ruin's the movie, watch it on dvd, they take out a few shark attack scene's, This movie is probbly my favorite in this genera, all in all, it rock's WATCH IT! NOT ON T.V.!

Summary: Fishy tale that suffers on the small screen
Review: Probably the pick of the Jaws style thrillers that remerged a few years back, attempting to capture the suspense of the Shark flick, with more inventive special effects.
The movie sports a pretty good cast, including Samuel L Jackson as a rich investor, and Saffron Burrows as the hard nosed and dedicated physician attempting to find a cure for Alzheimer's by using Shark brain fluid. Sounds cheesy, but the plot actually supports itself quite well and is at least plausible, if a little improbable. The story centers around an isolated marine facility with a skeleton crew that you just know are going to get into problems, and sure enough the picture moves quickly into an escape adventure, when the hunters (or scientists) become the hunted. Another complaint is the casting: the director seems to have felt the need to cover all the bases with stereotype characters, which really wasn't necessary.

* The aging and unkempt heavy smoking scientist
* The sexy young, ruthless bossy woman
* The religious guy
* The handsome hunky hero with a shady past
* The successful financial investor, who's also athletic and a born leader
* The soft spoken other female with an active but sensitive side
* The brainy guy who's a bit of a wimp, but comes through in a clutch

This is no Jaws however, with none of the grace or depth of the Spielberg classic, and spends far too much time trying to wow the audience with the ferociousness of the initially caged lab experiments. After they get loose we are treated to some gory attack scenes but this is where the movie really suffers. Watching this on the small screen really shows up the CGI and at times the sharks looks so fake, they almost appear as cartoons. Lightning fast attack sequences don't help this either, and the whole thing starts to look very artificial.
This isn't a BAD picture, and there are one or two twists in the plot, and scenes to make you jump which help lift the story in places, but it is WAY TOOOOO predictable overall.
Worth a look, but you probably won't pause it while you put the popcorn on! Enjoy

Summary: Wish I saw it in the theater..
Review: This movie is a lot of fun to watch, especially when the characters become the menu item. The basis is a lot meaner than JAWS, the sharks are a lot faster in the film -- amazing what little more than two decades can do to shark movies. This is JAWS for Generation X and I highly recommend this movie, it is scary as hell in parts especially when the shark grabs Samuel L. Jackson. The deaths are more graphic and more violent than JAWS, but just as scary as JAWS. Nothing can touch JAWS though but this movie is a must have for those who own JAWS.

Summary: Just something about it
Review: I don't have a fondness for gore, or horror (these days), but this wasn't so bad. I know this movie won't win any awards for acting and plot, but I still think it's pretty decent. Whoever cast LL Cool J gave him the best lines in the film, which were most of the funny ones and he does a great job landing them. I like ocean movies and this one offers some really cool effects. In this, you can let go of reality for a while, maybe imagine yourself in a similar, seemingly no-win situation, feel the tension and the suspense. Of course they're not real sharks, but they're pretty good effects. At least in Deep Blue Sea, the "typical" isn't so typical. Those you may think will still be around by the end, aren't. Surprise!
