If I wrote about every schlock thriller in circulation on the American market, I'd run out of room, but I saw Deep Blue Sea (1999) on the ever amazing flat screen and I have no idea why anyone would like it. The computer graphics showed a blatant lack of integration. Jackson and the supporting red shirts get carried off like plastic G.I. Joe toys, and the overzealous doctor, played a bit smugly by Saffron Burrows, broke the rules so as to cure Alzheimer's Disease!
I am not going to be too pc about this, but I wish screen writers could take more responsibility for their plot lines, and maybe read a little AS Byatt, who at least has the courage of her conviction about the broken characters she trusses up, with no apologies.
Alzheimer's can be integrated into our creative impulses, but using it as a tacky excuse for more fish monster elimination games is a bit of a crock.
