Matthew McConaughey stars and I'd be hard pushed to name another film I've seen him in. I don't know the female lead at all either, in fact I only knew Donald Sutherland, Ray Winstone (Both woefully miscast) and Malcolm Jamall Warner who gets killed very early into the movie anyway. It's a pretty weak plot. Take a man whose wife is divorcing him for being irresponsible and devoting his life, time & money to treasure hunting.
Yes, you've got a nice tropical island setting but the whole "misfits looking for treasure" is a very old and well used idea that's been done better many times before (the best being The Goonies). McConaughey is such a bum he's even late for his own divorce, he blows up a boat while he's diving for treasure. Most of the plot is pretty predictable. Yes, their going to find the treasure. Yes, their going to fall in love again. Its just a matter of how and how long it takes them to meander there. Include sex in a church, some grave robbing, a plane ride that ends up in the ocean and you've got this excuse for a movie.
Only watch it if your either at gunpoint or have nothing left to live for. It's that awful. Not only both thumbs down, run away from any cinema showing it. Almost certain to go to DVD within less than 2 months. It's that bad.
