I watched in morbid fascination as Jonathan Bennett effectively killed his acting career. Although likeable enough in rom com or as a host, he is just plain weird in this. His acting is off, all the time. Clearly, JB was out of his element with this one.
As of the story, it is full of holes and in dire need of some logic. Someone in tge writing department should have regroup their thoughts cause this story is all over the place.
The characters are utterly forgettable. How did they get Tim Daly on board for that colossal fail is beyond me! Watch something else, unless you love bad movies.

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.

This movie wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. I have seen far worst movies that got better reviews than this. If you are bored and have nothing to watch this movie will 100% entertain you. Through out the movie you keep thinking what will happen next, it indeed kept you on your toes. The movie is made well, but the thing i missed was more emotions in this movie. The characters didn't show as much emotions as i wish they did. It is a movie with a twist as well, because at the end you keep wondering who was the mastermind behind it. You will get surprised in regards to who it was. I do recommend this movie, when you have nothing else to watch. It was entertaining.
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.

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.
