Yeah, just wanted to say a few quick words on one of the best Jaws rip-offs ever made.
Director Renny Harlin is going to be known for two things, when he dies. First, he was banging Geena Davis, and I think we can all be jealous of that. Second, he gave Sam Jackson the best monologue ending in history.
Now, I've met Mr. Harlin, and he's a very nice guy. (I'd still take his wife, though.) He just seems to be a "by the numbers" type of director.
But Deep Blue Sea really is a bunch of fun. From the winks to Jaws to the over-the-top scene with the helicopter.
The plot? A hot-ass female scientist is making super-smart sharks, so she can cure Alzheimers. They get loose and munch down on the cast. Yeah, if you know anything about sharks, this doesn't make a lot of sense. But the action kicks in quick and there's blood and, ya know, even L.L. Cool J is enjoyable.
