Not only because I like shark movies and sharks along with all other animals but because the cast made me think it would be at the very least decently made. It is not. Jaws himself Richard Dreyfuss in the cast successfully lured me in. However, that also means expectations are set accordingly and this movie did not deliver. Continue reading our Into the Deep movie review below. Find it in select theaters and VOD from January 24, The opening scene of Into the Deep made me a little suspicious that I should dial down my expectations real quick.
Sure, it used actual shark footage, which I liked. However, that was the only good thing about that scene. And she does in this one as well but it simply is not a good movie.
And then Richard Dreyfuss co-stars well, sort of as her grandfather. At least that was my experience. The criminals kidnap some tourists Scout Taylor-Compton is among them and force them to retrieve the drugs from shark-infested waters. It gets tired real fast but the movie continues along those lines. Several each year, which usually means a very productive filmmaker but rarely amazing quality.
The ratings also tend to be around on average for most. With a few reaching higher. Yet another movie we could only give a 1 out of 5 rating. I only realized this after watching Into the Deep. Even the title is as generic as they get. Not really.
Well, except for during the end credits when Richard Dreyfuss delivers a very important speech on how sharks are being hunted and maimed, and that we should protect them. I agree wholeheartedly. Modern day pirates on the hunt for sunken drugs kidnap a boat of tourists and force them to dive into shark infested waters to retrieve the contraband.
