Movie Review - Into the Blue

Right, firstly I want to let you all know this a review of the DVD version of the film after having seen "The Making Of" and the deleted scenes. I don't know if this or Fantastic 4 was made first but whichever was made first, the director obviously saw Jessica Alba in a tight outfit and thought "I can use that in my movie" Jessica Alba does look pretty but she also looks about 13 years old. Paul Walker is a new face to me and I've never seen him in anything before this, Scott Caan I assume is James (Rollerball) Caan's son? Ashley SCott is also very pretty and plays her part well and you know she's going to be the weak link in the chain of close friends as the girl he's known for only 14 hours.

Take the films The Deep, Jaws & Deep Blue Sea and combine them all with The Bahama's, Drugs, Treasure and Betrayal. The cute looking guy and his girl are down on their luck after he looses his job (by the way, the deleted scene of him saving the boy by cutting his dive belt should have been retained and then his conversation with his boss about a lost dive belt would have made more sense then) and then anxious to find treasure. He gets lucky and finds some stuff and then finds a plane (looks like an old DC3) which is full of drugs. His morals are too high to sell the drugs but this will happen eventually. When they find The Zeyphr the wreck looks far too new, even the plane looks like it's been in the sea longer.

Friends who turn out to be involved in the drug scene and who is going to betray them next and who is going to die or get killed. The sharks all look CG as do the fish (but it turns out they are all real) and the shark attacks look very good but sometimes are are a little bit over the top.
Generally the film is played more for action with the boats, guns , sharks and drugs. It ends on a high note with them finally finding treasure on the Zeyphr but the ending could have been a lot better. Quite a weak film sold on some action and the cute cast.
