    Avoid this trash like the fúcking plague.

    It's worth watching once because the characters are a bit quirky for a mainstream action movie but its not a film that stands up well to repeated viewings.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,508 ✭✭✭johnnynolegs


    i have only seen it once and it was in the cinema it is not a cinematic great but it is definitely worth the watch

    Geneticaly modified Mako sharks, sexy lead character and a rapper who cooks.. what more do you want in a no brain action film?

    It's an enjoyable film. Couple of nice unexpected touches :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 221 ✭✭DrizztIE


    I enjoyed it, which was a improvement from the JAWS films but
    Samuel L Jackson got killed in the submarine room - Noooooo!
    - I wasn't expecting that one. Overall - I would give it 3/5.

    I've watched it months before on Sky and thought it wasn't to bad. Having watched it again tonight I must say it still made for entertaining stuff and the best shark flick I've seen since the original Jaws

    Its an OK film, origional jaw's is miles better tho in my opinion.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,481 ✭✭✭satchmo


    Watched it there when it was on. That bit (you know which one I mean) was brilliant, made the film much more memorable. Otherwise it's pretty mindless but enjoyable nonetheless.

    Sam Jackson said with tongue firmly in cheek that one of the reasons he did Deep Blue Sea was cos he gets eaten. Even he realises how bad the movie was!!
    And Saffron Burrows... did she really need to strip to her underwear to fight the shark??

    Yes she did. She absolutely, 100%, had to strip to beat that shark.

    Kind of surprised me when Sam Jackson's character died in it when I saw it first. I was sure he'd be standing at the end, facing down the last shark. He'd look the shark in the eye, and say "Do you read the bible, shark? I have this passage memorised....."

    There were some nice touches, though. I liked Michael Rapaport's death (complete with twitching feet), and the sequence in the vertical chamber with the ladder was well done.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,508 ✭✭✭johnnynolegs


    yeah the twitching feet added to it brilliantly and i was so happy when LL Cool J survives................. some classic cheesy lines aswell "you ate my bird" brilliant!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,432 ✭✭✭Steve_o


    The twitching leg was a nice feature alright!!! When I saw DBS in the cinema I was a bit shocked when Samuel L. got chewed up by the sharks it's not something u expect 2 happen!!!!!!

    Mick if i didnt know you id call u a ****ing muppet!!!!! Jesus what a comment to make, ur films r up ur arse m8!!!! So u give DBS a 3/5 so what exactly would u give Jaws???? MUPPET!!!!
    :D

    btw dbs is absolutely useless, utter crap tbh :p

    i dont think it was that bad for tg4.

    dont forget that they probabily blew 1/2 their budget to show it.
    and why do people compare Jaws and dbs. they were completily differant. Dbs was about what happens when you keep poken a shark but jaws 1 & 2 were all about one family who had an over affectionate pet fish! :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    i actually enjoyed it a lot more than i was expecting to, seeing as couple of people had told me it was complete muck...

    anyone know when tg4 are going to show payback? (if they havn't already that is)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,240 ✭✭✭hussey


    screw payback - when they showing Boggie Night

    OK movie saw it when it first came out. would watch it again if i had noting else was on

    Surprising that a big star like Samuel L. Jackson dies so early on.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭azezil

    Great soundtrack, brilliant opening, and the bit with the suitcases is excellent (classic actor RIP).

    It's still not as good as the original though.
