Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
Danny Blankenship Really not a big fan of these type of movies, yet from time to time I do watch these action drama types that involve criminals and good against bad with plot twists of mind games! And this picture "Into the Blue" has all of that.The story is simple it involves a plane crash, and a ship or boat type that have sunk into the deep blue waters of the Bahamas, already present and living like two love birds are two straight arrow types Jared(the late Paul Walker)and Sam(Jessica Alba who's so cute and sexy!)who welcome some old friends Bryce(Scott Caan) and Amanda(Ashley Scott)who's morals are a little dirty and questionable.Along the way a tale of cocaine and treasures unfold with divers and drug dealers involved as it's high action and rocky drama on the waves of the Bahamas! Also Jessica Alba has a damsel in distress moment as she's kidnapped and taken hostage by the bad drug dealers as she has her mom taped with duct tape. Overall it has all the elements and themes of action drama movies like adventure and bad against good and rescue and the search for better goods! Give it a watch not really a bad movie and you will enjoy like me, if your a Jessica Alba fan.
Xlyfindel I actually really like this movie because it has my cute ex-girlfriend's name in it as one of the main characters. Aside from that and it being really cute to watch together I can't give it a really stellar rating. I would have lost all interest about halfway through the movie when it hit a standstill trying to set up dramatic tension between the paper thin characters. It is also a very pretty movie with the setting in someplace I would love to go vacation along with gratuitous underwater scenes. This is the other thing that broke my suspension of disbelief, they are under water for way too long! Even with the professional diver background it seems like it was an unrealistically long amount of time between breathes, which is fine, but then the element of drowning is put into play later. I like the acting in this plenty enough, its just the story and motivating forces moving the character actions seem kind of weak.
Python Hyena Into the Blue (2005): Dir: John Stockwell / Cast: Paul Walker, Jessica Alba, Scott Caan, Ashley Scott, Josh Brolin: Below average thriller about the temptation of danger. Simple plot regards the discovery of a sunken plane that contained a massive amount of cocaine and the danger surrounding the site as smugglers close in. Director John Stockwell wisely concentrates on the relationships and details the structure but the conclusion is unrealistic and action oriented. The big downside is that the characters are mainly cardboard props with little personality and exist mainly to narrowly escape getting their asses handed to them. Paul Walker is given the role of hero who will ultimately conquer because that is what we expect. Jessica Alba plays his girlfriend involved in the marine life. She gets kidnapped and plays damsel throughout most of the movie. Scott Caan plays an old friend who becomes greedy. He is the one who lands their asses in trouble because he is dumber than sh*t. Ashley Scott plays Caan's five day girlfriend who is more trouble than she's worth. She is also dumber than sh*t. We have a lot of stupid people in this film whose prime talent is making all the wrong decisions. Action fans will enjoy its impressive marine footage but story is thread bare and drowns in silly action and much nonsense that spirals the script into more than the blue. Score: 3 / 10
Floated2 I saw this movie today, after already reading reviews panning it; so I decided to watch it because I was bored and there wasn't much on television that hour.This movie is pretty alright, its not that bad as some complained but its really not that great also Into the Blue has great scenery, great cinematography, beautiful Caribbean setting, and splendid action. There was a LOT more action than I had anticipated in this movie. The drug-smuggling / underwater struggles / were wonderful.I enjoyed the ending of the movie, it had great action and I thought it summarized the whole film great. Though it was very predictable. The good guys win and the bad ones lose, that was greaattt!!! (tony tiger) This all makes for a good mixed genre movie that I think did it's job very well indeed: great entertainment!
