“Into The Blue” Movie

On Thursday I saw the movie “Into The Blue”, which starred: Paul Walker, Jessica Alba, Dwayne Adway, Josh Brolin and Scott Caan.

The storyline involved the following: “We meet our lovers in the Bahamas. Jared (Paul Walker) is a dive bum looking for his big break. Samantha (Jessica Alba), Jared's devoted girlfriend, is happy handling sharks at the Atlantis resort and living with her man in a trailer on an idyllic beach. Wouldn't we all? Except maybe the shark part. When Jared's best bud Bryce (Scott Caan) shows up with a new girlfriend, Amanda (Ashley Scott), things get a little dicey. It starts off when the four divers discover a legendary shipwreck rumored to contain millions in gold. Soon visions of wealth and greed are swimming in their heads. But also nearby on the ocean floor is a sunken plane full of cocaine. Uh-oh. The friends make a pact to keep quiet about both discoveries so they can excavate the shipwreck and claim it before a rival treasure hunter, Bates (Josh Brolin), can beat them to it. Of course, their plan goes awry, as plans are wont to do. The nefarious smugglers, looking for their underwater stash, are lurking about. So Bryce and Amanda come up with a new plan of their own. You know nothing good is going to come of this.”

I give this movie a “C+”, and it is the worth of an admission ticket, a small popcorn and a small soft drink. The characters were too cocky for me, and the film appeared to be cheaply made. But the movie was still entertaining.
