Movie Review: Into the Blue
Sep 30, 2005 - Lynn Barker
Guys with great abs, girls in bikinis, hanging out in the Bahamas.. Sound like an episode of "Girls Gone Wild"? Nope. It's a treasure hunting, shark infested adventure for Paul Walker and Jessica Alba as they dive Into the Blue.
Paul and Jessica play Jared and Sam, a happy young couple living in paradise. Jared is a local sort of a surfer bum who keeps trying to fix his leaky boat with dreams of hunting for undersea treasure while Sam earns a living teaching tourists about sharks at the local marine aquarium. Teamed up with Jared's pal Bryce (Scott Caan) and his greedy squeeze of about three days Amanda (Ashley Scott), Paul and Jessica do some free diving and discover two treasures; a long-lost shipwreck full of pirate booty and a submerged, crashed plane full of modern "treasure"... cocaine.
A rival treasure hunter played by Josh Brolin also wants the submerged riches and other local crooks.. one played by hit male-model Tyson Beckford, want in on the plunder. So, do our heroes get too greedy? Amanda and Bryce want to tangle with the drug lords and hold the cocaine for ransom while Jared and Sam, more moral by nature, just want to get enough money to finance the raising of their pirate ship treasure. Either way, its big trouble for our buff body lead actors.
