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!
I've been visiting IMDb.com for over 8 years and this is my first online review, ever. I'm writing this review because I've seen a lot of bad movies, and this is not one of them.
Maybe it's because of my age (I'm in my 40s), but I disagree with the negative reviews posted. Funny thing is, I almost skipped over this one because of the bad reviews -- I'm glad I didn't because this movie draws you in and, after the first 20 minutes, I was hooked... and you will be too.
In this day and age where it seems all Hollywood can do is either create movies from comic book heroes OR remake classics, it's hard to find good movies to watch. Is Submerged the best movie ever made? No. But, it's definitely way, way better than average.
I thought the director used the flashbacks very well in building the characters and telling the story. The acting was definitely above average and there is more than enough tension. Mario Van Peebles did a great job, too. Where the heck has Mario been?? Jonathan Bennett and Tim Daly also were very good -- the entire cast did well. Finally, the cinematography, the editing and the music are all top notch. I can't understand why all the bad reviews. Submerged is a good thriller and worth your while to watch.
I'm not going to give any of the story away but if you are over 30 years old and you're looking for a good thriller to pass the time, don't pass this one up. It will keep you submerged... until the end.
Kudos to the director, the producers, the cast... and everyone involved.

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.

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.

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.
