Deep Blue Sea
Bigger. Smarter. Faster. Meaner.
Researchers on the undersea laboratory Aquatica have genetically altered the brains of captive sharks to develop a potential cure for Alzheimer's disease. There is one unexpected side effect. The sharks are getting smarter. Which could mean trouble for the researchers. And lunch for the sharks.
You can swim but you can't hide when a tropical storm floods Aquatica, plunging Samuel L. Jackson, Saffron Burrows, Thomas Jane, LL Cool J and the rest of the crew into a harrowing battle of wits against sleek killing - and thinking! - machines.
Renny Harlin (Cliffhanger, Die Hard 2) directs, squeezing nerve-jangling suspense and thrills from a film that's a monster movie, a chase movie, a movie that snaps hold and won't let go. Dive in.

Under rated movie. It's all around good times and we also get that beauty Saffron Burrows in it! Yowzaaaa!
USELESS FACTS:
the license plate pulled from the shark's teeth is the same plate found in the tiger shark in Jaws.
Renny Harlin has said that Deep Blue Sea was the hardest film he's ever made.A Popcorn Movie. - cathyottawa
Captive sharks given bigger brains get super intelligent and fight back! Sound a little goofy? Well, that's because it is, but it's also kind of fun if you're willing to go with it.
This movie isn't trying to be campy, but is also doesn't take itself too seriously. L.L. Cool J is surprisingly charasmatic in a scene stealing role. He, and the always reliable Samuel L Jackson provide much needed reality checks throughout, keeping the movie from getting too earnest.
Rounding out the cast, we have the doctor with the English accent, which somehow makes the science sound less ridiculous. There's the girl that screams and cries, the goofy guy, and the renegade angry guy. And, as usual, there's always time for a little romance in these films.
The effects are pretty good. This ain't no Jaws, but it's okay. Turn your brain off and just enjoy.A underated movie - Willy1
Deep Blue Sea was an underated movie, didn't get much success at the box office, but still proved too be an exceptionally exciting movie. Deep Blue Sea, I felt, was a well put together film, and the shark sequences were unbelivably realistic looking. Overall, Deep Blue Sea does not get the thumbs up from me for one sequence I felt was disastirous. It was the part after the team had put the injured doctor into the chopper, and the shark got the chopper, and then we are at the part when the shark throws the guy in the huge glass frame, then it bursts open and everyone gets out. In reality, everyone would have died in that room, due to the fact that water would have filled that room in less then 10 seconds right to the top.
