Nas Profundezas

Too many bad decisions and inane activity that really doesn't make sense. It needed a more coherent plot and better dialogue. I don't know. Just another bla movie. The acting isn't bad. And the lead is really nice looking in a bikini. That's about it.

Awful in every way.. unsure why I continued to watch until the end.. I think I was just hoping something would make it worth the time I'd already wasted.

The acting was horrific, I felt like I was watching a high school drama in stage rather than a sky film!

The story line was pointless and not believable.. for example, why would you decide your going to jet ski out to a boat to take revenge when it was literally docked up the day before? Surely it would have been much easier to do that when attached to land... Also why tell the girl to get the flare when evidence was in the flare bag..? It literally makes zero sense.

Truely not even sure why I'm wasting my time writing a review about such an awful film too, but I think I just want to save people wasting their time!!

After watching Into the Deep, I'm a little shocked that I'm not trashing this movie hard. It doesn't seem like it's for me. It has a very high-school-y vibe, like a romance drama for teen girls. It sometimes feels like a B-movie. And to top it off, it starts really slow and takes a while before anything actually happens.

And yet... I found myself enjoying it. I can't explain it. Maybe it's the good musical score that kept me intrigued. Maybe I just fell in love with the lead actress 3 seconds into her screentime. Or maybe it's actually decent.

I might've given this a slightly positive score, but I was turned off by a few character decisions and some really dumb moments later in the movie. Still, this is so much more entertaining than a lot of the boring and useless garbage I watch. (1 viewing, 3/24/2023)

The movie fell short. It's one of those movies that leaves you thinking "could have been... but wasn't".

The movie is about three people in a boat with a dead motor in the middle of the sea. Things start going wrong, and Jess doesn't know who to trust: her new boyfriend? Or the other girl?

One thing that I found disturbing was all the yelling and shouting. It was like watching a horror movie that was commissioned to a highschooler for summer project: everybody is yelling, and the actual acting part is super shallow. Now, I found Ella-Rae Smith acting actually spot on. I can't say the same for her colleagues; they didn't seem to believe in their characters themselves.

The movie would have been more enjoyable, and to be taken more seriously, with more psychological tension (and some good "scary" silence).

The other thing is the plot itself. I think that some more work could have been done to make it more interesting, because "I just want to know what you did" isn't that strong as a motive. Also, some moments weren't that plausible.

I enjoyed the movie on a lazy Saturday while cleaning the house. All the yelling helped boost my cleaning mood... I don't think it's the kind of movie I'd sit down to actually focus on intensively. Because then, I'd most likely notice more implausible things... Yeah, it's a movie that could have definitely been better.

It isn't the best movie ever, but it's entertaining enough, and considering the limited setting and cast (all movie long we are on the same boat with the same three people) it's quite an achievement that they made it thrilling until the very end. I especially liked it, that up until the last say 20 minutes you keep guessing who speaks the truth and who is the villain. Ella-Rae Smith plays her bewilderment and deadly fear very well, Matthew Daddario as handsome and charming Ben makes it totally believable that young Jess falls for him, and Jessica Alexander is equally convincing as the relentless vengeful Lexie.

I do have a few minor reservations. The sad personal history of Jess keeps popping up, but doesn't add anything to the story. And the last scene somehow gave the impression that the makers considered someone as a hero and worth to be saved, who in my opinion was, in spite of understandable motives, disproportionally violent, even murderous. A bit of a questionable moral, I would say. But for the rest: a nice and entertaining thriller.
