Four young divers come across a legendary shipwreck that is rumored to contain millions in gold, but nearby to their lucky find is another more sinister mystery. As rival treasure hunters begin to suspect their discovery, their friendshipsFour young divers come across a legendary shipwreck that is rumored to contain millions in gold, but nearby to their lucky find is another more sinister mystery. As rival treasure hunters begin to suspect their discovery, their friendships and loyalties are tested; and they must make haste before they become the hunted along with the treasure.

The story is solid enough, and in truth it was well above my expectations, captivating my interest very early on and remaining suspenseful and intriguing enough throughout the picture. The cast are all good enough, although they were probably chosen as much for their looks as their acting abilities, but who can deny that Jessica Alba and Ashley Scott did add a sexy feel for the male audience, and i guess Paul Walker and Scott Caan did the same for the ladies.

What really made the film for me was the truly fantastic scenery and the underwater camera work; it was flawless and stunningly beautiful in a way that is rarely captured on film, three cheers for the direction and the film crew for that.… Expand

Kept a bus of 50 high school students on their way to a ski resort quiet for the 2 hour drive, so there's definitely some "watchability" to it. At first I thought their attention was due to Jessica Alba in a bikini, but there's Kept a bus of 50 high school students on their way to a ski resort quiet for the 2 hour drive, so there's definitely some "watchability" to it. At first I thought their attention was due to Jessica Alba in a bikini, but there's more to it than that. Let's face it, everyone likes a good treasure hunt movie. Many here have said the movie is just a mindless watch, but I found the conflict faced by the protagonists -- namely whether to use the funds of selling a discovery of cocaine to finance their underwater search for REAL treasure -- to be particulary interesting. Of course, they fall deeper and deeper (no pun intended) into trouble, which makes for a good moralistic argument as well.… Expand

I have seen Heaven, and it is Jessica Alba's ass in a bathing suit. Besides that, it's a good popcorn flick, Scott Caan is reasonably funny and...there's sharks! Can't go wrong with sharks.

Let's just say, it's better than expected. That being said, I wasn't expecting much.

Obviously one of the main selling points here, as was demonstrated in the film's marketing campaign if I remember correctly was you get to see plenty of Jessica Alba in a bathing suit.

Its a decently acted thriller, Josh Brolin can read the phone book and make it entertaining and Jessica Alba is easy on the eyes. Let's just say this , it's better than expected. That being said, I wasn't expecting much.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While it's a little generic, Into the Blue is an entertaining and sexy crime thriller. The story follows an aspiring treasure hunter and his friends who discover a possible shipwreck near a crashed plane full of drugs on the sea bed, and must work secretly to uncover the ship's location before others get to it first or the drug cartel comes looking for their lost plane. Starring Paul Walker, Jessica Alba, Ashley Scott, and Scott Caan, the film has a good cast. But the characters are poorly written and the plot is really convoluted. Still, there are some nice action sequences and the underwater scenes are beautifully shot. It's gratuitous and silly, but Into the Blue is also kind of fun.… Expand

Into the Blue never demonstrated any pretense of becoming the next academy award winner, and instead faithfully executed its focus -- beautiful ocean scenery, beautiful bodies, and a significant degree of tension and action to carry the plot.Into the Blue never demonstrated any pretense of becoming the next academy award winner, and instead faithfully executed its focus -- beautiful ocean scenery, beautiful bodies, and a significant degree of tension and action to carry the plot. I found the characters believable, especially given the target audience of the movie: the dialog was fairly cleverly humorous, but serious when it needed to be; the characters were adequately conceived, including the intentionally unlikeable 4th party woman who "wasn't family." Most of all, I enjoyed the pacing of the movie. Some slow underwater scenes were accompanied by peaceful music belying the increasingly perilous situations the characters found themselves in. Halfway through the movie, the tension never fully dissipates, as each event flows into the next as the stakes rise. The badguys are dealt with intelligently, and there are enough twists to convincingly carry the instability and danger of the situation.

I went into this movie wanting to enjoy it, and I wasn't disappointed. Though its premise wasn't the most intellectual of premises, I don't feel as if it were dumbed down as much as many action movies do, and instead carried out is plot with due respect given its expectations. I'd recommend this movie as a good post-summer adventure flick!… Expand
