Comparing every shark movie made to Jaws - the undisputed GOAT of shark films - is a bad idea, considering that none of these films will ever come close. That being said, there are plenty of other good ones out there. I enjoyed Jason Statham in The Meg, for example, and I enjoyed Samuel L. Jackson and the decent cast around him in Deep Blue Sea.
Nothing particularly complicated here: sharks go crazy (for reasons I won't divulge here, to avoid tagging this review as one with spoilers) and assault a laboratory out in the middle of the watery nowhere. People die, sharks terrify, and things explode. There are some good one-liners, the acting is decent enough, and though far-fetched, it's a fun story. Above all else: entertaining. Sometimes - as I often say in my reviews - all you need or want is entertaining. Deep Blue Sea is indeed that.
