It was filmed nearly a year and a half before it was released for reasons I would not dare to speculate on. This film is not to be confused with anything up for an Academy Award this year. The film is a little long, but the conclusion is worth sticking around for. The resulting action has numerous gun battles, shark attacks, kidnappings, and acts of machismo.
Naturally, the drug dealer of record in the area wants the coke for himself, and doesn't want anyone getting in the way by searching for treasure near by. We have young treasure hunters in the Caribbean who find not only a sunken ship carrying gold, but a recently crashed plane full of cocaine on the ocean floor. Seeing him and Tyson Beckford really makes me feel out of shape now that the holidays are over. Paul Walker kind of has the Justin Timberlake thing going on. Since there are only two female main characters, that means there are also plenty of young men for the women to feast their eyes on. One may dislike the content of the films he's made thus far in his early directing career (Blue Crush, Crazy/Beautiful), but one cannot deny the fact that the man knows how to shoot young women's bodies. Yes, the guy who played Cougar in Top Gun. Into the Blue is directed by John Stockwell. A good dosage of Jessica Alba flesh can warm you up on the coldest winter day. Is that entirely a bad thing? The Hound thinks not.
But ultimately, it's just as excuse to show off some young flesh. The film has some neat underwater photography, some good stunts, and even a twist or two. You almost feel like Rodney Dangerfield from Back to School after watching this movie.
