My REVIEW:

 

This was a really good movie from start to finish... maybe because watching Jessica Alba in a bikini is pretty easy to do!?

 

'Into the Blue' really tries to be a movie. It's not mindless dumb movie energy you'd expect from watching the trailer. Jessica Alba and Paul Walker give convincing performances, and Scott Caan provides some much needed comic relief. The unique thing about this scuba flick is the footage is simply stunning. Nearly every shot in this film is beautiful, above or under water. And I'm not just referring to the camera pans up and down buff bodies. To put it simply, the writer and director knew what the target audience was looking for... and they deliver a little bit more. 'Into the Blue' is entertaining, crisp, lean and stunning shot in the clear waters of the Bahamas.

 

Just when you think you have something figured out... You Don't!!! I highly recommend that everyone goes to see this movie in theaters on the BIG SCREEN... don't wait for the DVD.
