Samuel L. Jackson is a businessman who invests a large chunk of cash into a cure for brain disease. The medical biologist in charge of the program (Saffron Burrows) finds a way to better harvest the necessary enzymes. Except it's done in sharks, and the side effect makes the sharks too smart for their own good. They soon break free of their controlled habitat and head for the open waters, where they endanger the lives of all they encounter. The soundtrack for this misadventure is solid hip hop led by L.L. Cool J, who contributes two cuts and wrote and produced Simone Starks' "Burn Baby Burn." Chantel Jones performs an update of Johnny Nash's "I Can See Clearly Now." Cormega featuring Carl Thomas's "Mega's on His Own" is an ominous highlight, incorporating the Temptations' "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" in its ambient sweep. Trevor Rabin sums things up with "Deep Blue Sea Montage," an orchestral score you might expect to hear when being chased by an angry shark. --Rob O'Connor

5.0 out of 5 stars LL COOL J SINGLE "DEEPEST BLUEST" IS AWESOME, July 29, 1999

I heard the first song from the soundtrack on MTV's "Making the Video". The song was "Deepest Bluest (Shark's Fin) by LL Cool J (the "J" stands for James). The song is awesome. LL Cool J is the best rapper of the millenium. Pick up the CD and listen to the first track.

5.0 out of 5 stars This soundtrack is a great mix of intense hip hop and R&B., August 1, 1999

This soundtrack has something for just about anyone who appreciates great hip hop and R&B. The styles range from L.L.'s intense 'Deepest Bluest' to Bass Odessey's rap/soul rhythm to Divine's sultry number. 'I Found Another Man' by Natice is my favorite cut on the album. The beat is really catchy and those sensual voices had me wishing I was the new man. I think that overall this soundtrack is definitely a must have.

But other than LL's tracks, there really isnt any other ones that stand out as "awesome" songs. It isnt a terrible album, however, and is worth a listen, especially if you like some of the other artists on the CD. I was a tad disappoined though.
