Plot: Here's a cool action film that goes down smooth as summer vacation, full of gorgeous turquoise-colored underwater scenery, bronzed bodies, and a nice level of free diving adrenaline. Paul Walker and Jessica Alba are a pair of in-love Bahamas-dwelling naturalists; she wrangles sharks at a local water park, he shepherds tourist scuba divers around the local reefs. Their beach-bum tranquility gets a jolt when a fast-talking buddy (Scott Caan) and his drug-user girlfriend (Ashley Scott) come to visit. While out on a dive, the foursome uncover what could be a dagger from an 18th-century pirate ship--but nearby there also happens to be a downed plane laden with cocaine. Moral quandaries ensue, bad guys get wind of the drugs, guns come out, and the plot thickens. It's based on THE DEEP, a 1977 film that tried to capitalize on the JAWS phenomenon of the time but disappointed audiences by forgetting the sharks. This version is a much more exciting film and features shark attacks and real sharks swimming among the actors, thereby righting a 32-year-old wrong. Director John Stockwell also did BLUE CRUSH (2001), so it's a given there's no skimping on the beautiful scenery, both above and below the water line. With the gorgeous bikini-clad Alba undulating through the water like a mermaid,

Into the Blue might be more enjoyable as a silent film. Not only would that spare us countless passages of purple prose, but it would distill the movie to its essence: bikini-clad actresses and some impressive underwater photography. Honestly, some of those shots of multi-hued tropical fish are impressive.  --James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
'Into the Blue' offers hard bodies and little else.  --Chelsea Bain (BostonHerald.com)
Into the Blue would probably work better as a rental unless you are bound and determined to see the gals work their magic on the big screen. D+--Laremy Legel
Any way you slice it, In the Blue is a bad movie. It's a movie that comes across as something Sony and MGM not only will want to forget but should've shelved.  --Brian Oliver (MovieMansGuide.com)
There is not one redeeming quality to this movie, and no reason to see it aside from pure star-struck salivation… and even that wears off after about the 20th close up of Alba's backside. --James Brundage (MovieWeb)

Into the Blue is a brainless, forgettable thriller that quickly sinks without a trace, despite an attractive cast and gorgeous photography.  --Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
