Into the Blue * * ½
We don't see a lot of "main stream" video, but it's December and the nice beach colors and tanned actors on the cover had some appeal as we're in Maine and it's snowing out tonight. This film is about a young American couple working in the Bahamas. Sam (Jessica Alba) works at the Atlantis resort's shark encounter. Jared (Paul Walker) is a professional diver relegated to a tourist diving service. He once worked for the local "treasure hunter" but parted company with dreams of doing his own thing. They have little more than each other and their dreams which seem enough for them for now.Jared's buddy (Scott Caan - yes, James Caan's son) flies down for a well earned vacation. He is a defense attorney whose last client paid part of his fees with a house and boat in the Bahamas. He's brought along the girl he met "14hours ago." It's time to kick back, enjoy this Luxurious home and boat. They go out for a little snorkling, and find stones and relics from a sunken ship, uncovered by the recent hurricane. In looking for evidence of the name of this wreck, they find an even bigger surprise... a wrecked plane full of cocaine bricks.
Now the suspense is in high gear and you are strapped into a roller coaster of plot twists you will keep you guessing until the closing credits. For action genre folks, they won't be disappointed, there are plenty of heart stopping moments. I'm more of a March of the Penguins type myself.
