Down on his luck and perpetually impecunious, the experienced deep-sea diver, Jared, and his theme-park guide girlfriend, Sam, lead an idyllic and simple life in the sun-drenched Bahamas. Dreaming of striking gold, the couple along with Jared's solicitor friend, Bryce, and his new lover, Amanda, set sails for the vast ocean on a rickety boat, to claim ownership of a sunken pirate treasure of inestimable value lying next to a wrecked fuselage crammed with watertight cocaine bricks. Before long, the temptation to get their hands on easy money will lead to a dangerous head-on collision with the murderous local drug lords, as the team gets sucked deeper and deeper into an unexpected adventure amid the blue and shark-infested Bahamian waters. But, will the sea give away its riches so easily? —Nick Riganas

Not great, but not bad
"Into the blue" isn't a classic by any stretch of the imagination. However if you, like me, were expecting little more than another poor cheese-fest, you may well be surprised. Cheesy it is, but not sickeningly so, and while the acting will never win any Oscars, it's of an acceptable level for the most part.
However, the film's real strength lies in it's eye candy. Now, I'm not just talking about Alba in a bikini (although, phwoar) or the obligatory sixpack with a mouth (in the form of Paul Walker here), because the of the beautiful Bahamas and ocean life are just fascinating.
The story itself tries to be that bit more than your average yarn of this type, however, it doesn't really succeed in doing anything more than linking each diving/action set piece (which, in fairness, are usually executed with aplomb). However, everything that's required to pull off a rather brainless action adventure is here, and it's worth watching if sounds like your sort of thing.
