Conduite en eaux troubles

Or well, I hardly ever give one star to a movie. I can always find something to like about it. But this? This was a train wreck from start to finish. Honestly, why people give it good reviews is beyond me.

It was the poster that intrigued me to watch this movie, I like photography and that looked like a poster from a movie I'd enjoy watching on Friday night. But, I actually spend more time playing a game on my phone than watching the actual movie - because I have a policy not to turn off movies, even when they suck. The acting was terrible, the multiple plot twist were terrible, the film angles and sound were terrible. Do I need to go on?

Though the guy from Teen Wolf was kind of cute for the three minutes he was actually in the movie? Maybe he is the one star.

To put it in one word, this movie was an entire NOPE.

Submerged (2016) is a survival thriller movie directed by Steven C. Miller and it was a first time watch for me and the movie was pretty mediocre.

Positives for Submerged (2016): The premise of the movie has some potential and it is done well for the most part. The performances from the cast particularly from Jonathan Bennett, Talulah Riley and Tim Daly are good enough. The underwater submerged sequence is pretty tense and suspenseful to watch. And finally, the action sequences are decently well shot for the most part.

Negatives for Submerged (2016): This movie feels like it was shot during a weekend trip. For some reason, they used CGI for the bullets used with the guns and it looks hilariously bad. The villains of this movie are hilariously generic and one-dimensional and they were away to beat. And finally, the movie was way too long as the pacing was horrible and it was dragging me like a punk.

Overall, Submerged (2016) is a typical and generic by the numbers survival thriller movie that has its moments, but it is a movie that I probably won't be rewatching anytime soon.

Wow. Take a scenario where a corporate big wig with money in offshore accounts, hired bodyguards, expensive suits and shoes that just laid off half a town from their employment, ruining countless lives. A spoiled daughter born with a silver spoon in her mouth, riding in limousines etc.

Then, have angry townspeople for the position they found themselves in due to their unemployment: loss of income, loss of health and life insurance, unable to pay their home mortgages, hungry babies. etc.

Now, , , we are supposed to feel sorry for the corporate giant and his putrid crotch daughter and root for them to kill off the upset towns people.

What's wrong with this picture?

It could have been a good movie if they just rethought the ending a bit.

Not sure this one is gonna win an Oscar, but it's impressive work for such a low budget. They seemed to bite off a lot and although there were a few misses, overall it connects. It's definitely a fun ride and hits with some good tension and scares. Performances hold up under difficult circumstances. Overall it's very enjoyable and would recommend to others.

First of all this is a B-movie. Don't judge is as a film by Spielberg of Tarantino. As a thriller it has enough suspense and twists. The scenario is interesting and actors are doing very well. Overall Submerged is worth watching and I didn't regret that I stumbled upon it. Don't pay attention to reviews – watch the film and decide for yourself!
