Contents / review: |
There doen't seem to be any logic during the whole film - but that doesn't really
matter. The pale characters with their mad dialogues have already completed that bad
impression. Obviously varying between authority and iability, Samuel L. Jackson fails
pitifully in his attempt to portray Russell Franklin, the man in the background who funds
the experiments. But there are a few more positive aspects: The tension is very high. The "shock-effects" are well designed and performed. And the unusual "fish-eye-like" under water camera travels together with the genre-typical soundtrack to give "Deep Blue Sea" a little bit more atmosphere than other movies of this genre have. Result: "Deep Blue Sea" shocks, is exciting - cinema to enjoy and forget. If anyone hasn't had enough of people screaming and running away from floods after "Titanic", he shouldn't miss this film! |
