4. Susan Deep Blue Sea
Deep Blue Sea was awesome in the way only films about genetically engineered sharks can be. It was big, boisterous, loud and stupid, and possessed one of the greatest death scenes ever shot on camera. You know which one Im talking about seeing Samuel L. Jackson get utterly demolished by a freaking shark mid-awesome monologue was a thing of terrible beauty, turning an objectively mediocre flick into something approaching brilliance. However, theres a nonsensical death in this film which frequently gets overshadowed by its infamous forebear the death of Saffron Burrows Susan McAlester. For those of you who dont know, she actually chucks herself into shark-infested water. I guess it might make sense that she went through some redemptive arc after all, the murderous sharks and all the ensuing carnage are kind of her fault, so some sort of self-sacrifice was probably necessary. But really, if she wanted to be a distraction, she could just make do with dropping blood into the water after all, if we invoke movie logic, bloods a perfect distraction for such a ravenous sea monster. She doesnt really need to chuck herself into the water, too far away from the ladder to get back thats like cutting off your hand to stop you shaking, surely the very definition of overkill. She couldve accomplished just as much with far less suicide.
