    Deep Blue Sea gives good rush -- earning its stripes as one terrific junk movie.

    Not everything in the film happens according to the traditional, overly familiar blueprint.

    Powered by exceptional displays of physical filmmaking, Deep Blue Sea is pulled back to shore by the usual suspects -- weak plotting and weaker dialogue.
  4. Even overlooking the fundamental inanity of the movie, one is left to contend with some offensive racial stereotyping.

    The only flick anybody can compare this too is Jaws, but come on, that movie was made 30 years ago.

    You won't be giving it a standing ovation but you will have a jolly good hour and a half of CGI sharks and Samuel L Jackson.

    Very entertaining B-movie. The way the sharks scarf down the cast is gruesomely funny.
