If you like big summer action flicks with plenty of bite, check this one out. Then go out for a big sushi dinner. It'll make you feel better.

Scary, absurd, inessential.

The characters are sufficiently naive to get picked off one by one, but their ignorance doesn't extend to the genre conventions governing their behavior, making for some shockingly funny moments.

Deep Blue Sea, a sort of cross between Aliens (without the thrills) and The Poseidon Adventure (without the camp compensations), doesn't deliver the killer-shark-versus-A-list-character-actor thrills you crave.

This highly unlikely story about genetically enhanced sharks that terrorize the scientists who created them is one summer movie that delivers exactly what it promises: nonstop popcorn thrills.

A soggy effort.

Deep Blue Sea is about giant sharks eating people and that's exactly what you get.

If we're laughing at the movie: there's something very gratifying about the regularity with which Harlin cuts his cheesy characters down to size. And as a piece of cinematic engineering, it's nothing if not efficient.

Mr. Harlin is a true poet of demolition.

Call it silly. Call it obvious -- there's nothing more obvious than a shark attack. But this is one of the few big-fish horror films that still has the power to surprise.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 18, 2002

You might guess that this movie will feature yelling, at least once, 'Let's get the hell outta here!'

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 19, 2002

Despite scene after scene of mayhem, Harlin manages to create and and sustain extremely well-coiled tension.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 17, 2001

A nail-biting rollercoaster ride of thrills and adrenaline.

A gross, flagrant, in-broad-daylight violation of the Law of Billing.

Mindless fun requires a lighter touch and more suspense than director Renny Harlin can deliver.

A lame Jaws wannabe!

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

This is one of those ridiculous movies in which people stand around mouthing cliches and weak jokes as they await the next attack.

| Jan 1, 2000

OK, I understand how gene therapy made the sharks smarter, but what made the scientists so stupid?

Dumb, laughable.
