Pressure

This movie is not terrible, it's empty. It is a low budget one, where not much happens and the little that happens is stretched into an hour and a half of length.

It seems more a movie for television then for the cinema. You do not enter into the role of any character and there are no major twists and is also fairly predictable. With a little more development it would be more interesting.

However, while not completely boring and while having a minimum of (uninteresting) suspense, I can not recommend it, unless you've just nothing else to see.

The real nice thing to watch here is the movie poster.

5/10

I don't know enough about deep-sea diving to comment on the veracity of the portrayal . A lot of it was difficult to believe. As a whole the story was well acted , especially Danny Huston.

I did not enjoy this movie for the price of $6.99

The plot is predictable and shallow, the acting is subpar, and production felt thrown together like it was made in a Olympic sized pool with little thought given to making it feel deep, dangerous, and under pressure. Flashing lights in the "bell", shaking camera work, character development jumping around forcing you to care about their pasts like it matters ( it doesn't) and all the way to the end felt like 100% cliché. Don't waste the cash on this one, wait for it to come on the local cable. Im not a critic, but I watch 2-3 movies every single night.. I made an account just to review this movie and warn others that it is not worth spending money to watch.

It is NOTHING like the Abyss, and far from Black Sea ( and I didn't exactly love that one either, but Id watch it twice over this once).

I predicted everything that happened in this movie, rolled my eyes nonstop and said out loud several times.. how is this film $6.99!!??

I thought the movie was better then some of the reviews on IMDb make you think. Okay it might be boring for someone who expect to see a lot of action and a lot of different locations but the story is about men trapped in a small pod underneath the ocean so you can't expect anymore then that. To me it's all about the suspense that you get by watching their desperation and the way they try to find a solution to get them out of this very bad situation. And the least you can say is that they acted well. I could feel the claustrophobia, the anguish and despair. There's absolutely no way I would ever put a foot in one of those pods. So to me it was a better movie then I expected. It might not be the greatest in this genre but it certainly did the job to keep me entertained on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

This movie was part of my B movie genre one afternoon. I usually am not the thriller type, I typically prefer more action adventure oriented (Deep Star 6, The Abyss etc...) There were elements that reminded me of Das Boot. However I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed it. The Good: The acting was surprisingly good, the script writing was good, the effects were good. The Bad: The plot is a little predictable at times, but this is just an adaptation of Lifeboat. Character development could have been a little better, I didn't feel as invested in any of the characters as I felt I should have. Generally I did enjoy it, I probably will not watch is again, but I would recommend it to anyone
