I came across this movie late one Sunday on HBO. I only got to see the last hour of it, but I was astounded by how moving it was. I tracked down the showtime and made time to watch it.

This film is about Laurence Fishburne ‘s attempt to find a place in the society that he left when he committed a terrible crime. There is a slight tinge of Black angst, but that isn't the main point. He could be any man, trying to find a new home and dealing with his past. It takes a long time before people come to accept Mr. Fortlow for what he is, a man in the true sense of the word.

He teaches us all a lesson in what it should be like to be a man. Be honest and true to yourself. Deal fairly with others. Do an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. Simple to say, hard to do when you are always outnumbered

Okay, I have to admit that I wasn't really expecting to like this film. In fact I was prepared for it to be cheesy. In a way, it is. One reviewer described it as Jurassic Park meets Jaws and that isn't far from the truth. But is was very enjoyable. I can't say what exactly surprised me with out giving away the plot, but I certainly wasn't expecting that. I seldom get surprises in a movie, so when I do I sit up and pay attention. The actors all did a good job and the sharks look dangerous and vicious in way that no real animal ever could. If you are looking for a movie that will startle and surprise you without leaving you paralyzed with fear, then Deep Blue Sea is the goods.

A stylish movie based on the book "Fourth Side of the Triangle" by Ellery Queen. This movie served as the pilot for the televison series. David Wayne makes a credible performance as Inspector Wayne, Ellery's father. Jim Hutton plays the title role in bon vivant style very in line with the spirit of the books. A very enjoyable film.
