Deep Blue Sea
1999, Rated R, 105 min. Directed by Renny Harlin. Starring Samuel L. Jackson, Saffron Burrows, Jacqueline McKenzie, LL Cool J, Thomas Jane, Michael Rapaport and Stellan Skarsgärd.
Don’t believe the hype: Not every schlocky blockbuster is actually a misunderstood masterpiece. Join Eric Samaniego and Wright Sulek, hosts of the Trash in the Can podcast, as they screen Renny Harlin’s braindead sharksploitation anti-classic, a movie so wrongheaded that the filmmakers didn’t realize until test screenings that audiences thought the crusading marine biologist hero was the villain. Come for the cheese, but stick around for sharks swimming backwards, LL Cool J with a parrot, and Samuel L. Jackson’s epic motivational speaking. – Richard Whittaker Read a full review of Deep Blue Sea.
