Consensus: Even the endless shots of bronzed beach babes and buffed dudes can't keep this soggy scuba flick's plot from drowning.

Synopsis: Here's a cool action film that goes down smooth as summer vacation, full of gorgeous turquoise-colored underwater scenery, bronzed bodies, and a nice level of free diving adrenaline. Paul Walker... [More]

Reviews for Into the Blue
Out of the murk.

Better than it has to be.

The tension never heightens to the point where you worry about the protagonists...
10/02/05
The film’s ethos clashes with Jessica Alba’s tan lines and loses the battle.

Has anyone other than Paul Walker and Josh Brolin qualified for a SAG card? I pity any audience sitting through these people mouthing the script's bromidic lines.

Into the Blue does the impossible - it makes a film featuring a bikini-clad Jessica Alba as dull as a bag of sand

...[a] banal bikini-clad action/adventure...Into the Blue merely sinks aimlessly into the deep-watered depths of its Caribbean currents.

Top CriticAh, the joys of bad cinema! Every now and then you get a movie so bad that it's almost al pleasure to watch. This almost qualifies as one of those. Damn!!!

Though marketed as brain-dead youth fodder, it's even worse than it looks.

Occasionally the action is so pulsing that we forget the actors are only half-clothed.
09/30/05
The two leads have exactly the chemistry you'd expect from really sexy young people who think that it's wicked cool to be paid big bucks to tan and make out.

There must be an Aquaman movie in the works, because Paul Walker seems to spend most of `Into the Blue' auditioning for it.
09/30/05
Devolves into a series of silly fight and chase scenes in which bad guys are bloodily maimed and dispatched while most of the good guys come out miraculously unscathed

Jessica Alba looks fabulous. But you knew that already.
09/30/05
Let’s just say the scenery is incredible. Oh, and it was shot in the Bahamas, so the locations are pretty sweet too.
09/30/05
It takes Stockwell forever to get these details into place, because he's primarily concerned with Caribbean and bikini-clad eye candy. But even that loses its novelty in a ridiculous showcase like this.
09/30/05
The makers of Into the Blue know what the audience wants. And they deliver a little bit more.
