Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

YaumingYMC I don't know why this film was given such a low score. Maybe the critics got confused and walked into a different theater and expected this to be a high brow or special agenda film involving an all boy romance. Obviously they were disappointed.But not me.I enjoyed watching this film. Its a fun film to watch and I probably saw this a couple of dozen times.Jessica Alba and Paul Walker look outstanding in this film. Not only are they at their athletic physical best but there is also a natural chemistry between the two actors that is hard to deny. They also do give convincing performances.The other two actors also do give credible performances.The only issue I have with this film is that - it could have been edited better. Starting the film on the "white whale" was a bad start. Somethings once seen are hard to erase from your mind. The script could also have been tighten up and better written to portray the dilemma the characters faced.I would honestly have given it a 8/10 but given the sad rating - it deserves another star.

kapelusznik18 ***SPOILERS*** Spectacular under as well as out of the water photography overcome the somewhat lukewarm plot about the crash of a plane loaded with 800 cartons of cocaine in the Bahamas on top of a sunken ship, that was sailing from New Orleans, the "Zephyr" that sunk during a hurricane back in 1861 with a sh*t load of gold bars and jewelry that was leaving the states as the Civil War was about to brake out. This treasure of gold and coke was discovered by beach boy Jared played by the late Paul Walker and his hot girlfriend Samantha, Jessica Alba, while scuba diving off the coast.It's Jered's friend Bryce, Scott Caan, from NYC who's a mouthpiece or shyster-Lawyer-for drug dealers who talks both Jared and Samathata or Sam as she's called to go diving for the loot that in the end leads to Bryce's girlfriend, that he picked up the night before at a Go-Go bar, Amanda, Ashley Scott, who ends up getting attacked by a 15 foot shark who ripped off her leg thus killing her.There's also a side story to all this in British drug lord Reyes,James Frain, whom the cocaine belonged to forcing Jared & Bryce to retrieve his drugs or else he'll have Jared's girlfriend Sam deep-ed sixth-ed and turned into shark bait at the bottom of the Caribbean Sea. there's another sub-plot to all this in that Rayes's partner***SPOILER***"Aquatic Theme Park" tour guide Derek Bates, Josh Brolin, who feels he's trying to screw him out of his share of the cocaine has him and his boys-local Bahamans hoodlums-knocked off so he can keep all the drugs all for himself along with the wreckage, some 150 million in gold and jewelry, of the sunken ship "Zephyr".***SPOILERS*** The action gets fast & furious as well as wet and waterlogged in the final moments of the movie with Jared and Sam slugging it out with Bates and whatever he still has left of his gang after he had most of them murdered along with his partner the snake-like and double crossing British drug kingpin Reyes. Bates get his much like the shark in "Jaws" did with an pressurized air tank slamming into him that exploded on impact. The film ends much like the 1977 movie "The Deep" did with Bryce after diving into the sea to retrieve a rusted cannon from the sunken ship "Zephyr" discovers the hundreds of gold bars in it that the cannon, by crashing into the ship, uncovered!

Laakbaar I have no choice but to give this film a high score, because I've seen it three times now (once in the theatre; twice on the tube), and each time I've enjoyed it immensely.I should add at this point that I am an experienced and obsessed diver and snorkeler, so the underwater setting is part of the attraction for me. The underwater scenes here are vivid, colourful, visually exciting and beautifully filmed. It was like being there.I identify strongly with the character of Jared (Paul Walker). Here is a guy who knows how to handle himself and doesn't put up with any sh*t. If there actually were people like Jared in this world, leading the life he leads in this movie, I would be green with envy. This movie makes me want to quit my job, abandon my responsibilities, book a flight to the Bahamas, and look for someone like Jared to hang out with.The irony is that once Jared has made his fortune, he will look back on his simple island life, complete with dockside trailer and old boat, as the best days of his life.I would have enjoyed a movie just showing Jared and Sam (Jessica Alba), a hot couple living their perfect lives in this Caribbean paradise. However, the drugs story was entertaining enough. And I think it reflects the reality that the drugs trade wreaks havoc on many Caribbean islands.The character of Bryce (Scott Caan) was perhaps the only annoying thing about the film. No redeeming qualities there at all. It's inexplicable that Jared would hang out with someone like this, and that the filmmakers didn't kill him off in the end. Die, Bryce, die!I thought Josh Brolin played his role particularly well. He's an under-rated actor.If you love diving, snorkeling and the Caribbean, or if you just want to look at eye candy (male and female) for 90 minutes, you'll enjoy this film. I don't understand the low scores, but perhaps most moviegoers aren't into diving movies.

HarryBeavers This film was basically crap in my view. The only thing all that memorable about it is Jessica Alba's ass. I guess for the women it would be Paul Walker's abs. I don't know. I'm just guessing. Ask a woman for crying out loud. I watched this film with one of my best friends. His comment at the end of the film was, "They should have just called it 'into the poop', (But he didn't exactly say "poop" if ya catch my drift.)." As I said, it's basically crap, but crap that looks pretty good. If you can picture such a thing, I'm not sure, but try anyway.My suggestion is to skip this film, unless you just want some senseless eye candy.
