10 Glorious Deaths In Forgettable Films

10. Russell Franklin Is Cut Off By A Shark (Deep Blue Sea)

For a film investigating the premise of harvesting the brain tissue of genetically altered sharks on an island facility in an attempt to combat Alzheimer's disease, only for the sharks to go AWOL and start hunting the crew, it's a shame that the majority of the people who have been exposed to the flick wouldn't be able to recount that.

The reason?

Set aside the 'colourful' use of CGI used throughout and still this film never feels as though the people making it have truly invested in anything that is happening on screen. The actors look to be dialling it in (Jackson's monologue the exception), possibly to hide any commitment to the clunky dialogue that litters any scene in danger of being decent.

Unlike the majority of this list, Jackson being turned into shark bait is a moment so brilliant that it has outgrown the very film it sprouted from. The fact that the beat comes after Jackson's Russel Franklin has rallied the troops for a heroic escape - only to be chewed up by a sneaky Great White in front of their very eyes - makes for a punch-line that proves there can still be a diamond in all that rough.

Though it will never find itself in Jackson's Top 10 career performances, it sits pretty as a one of his most glorious deaths.
