Good for what it is...

Which is: popcorn. This PG-13 "kiddie-action" gets a solid 6/10 from me. I did have my expectations low but that has nothing to do with the fact that this movie is as solid and tight as Jessica Alba in bikinis! There were more than just a few moments where there was either a twist I didn't see coming or an intense moment that left me thinking "OK, wasn't this supposed to be a PG-13 movie?" On top of those, the overall - checklist looks green: dialog, characters, tempo, photography, editing... All in all, a cut above the rest in its own genre and a "risk-free" choice to rent. Shame it did only 18 million at the box-office because it's as good as "The Fast and the Furious"!

Into the Blue

This is not a sequel, but it is certainly a follow-up from director John Stockwell (Crazy/Beautiful) to his own Blue Crush, with another water based film, filled with a couple of girls in bikinis, obviously a good hook. Basically, in the Caribbean Sea of the Bahamas, diver Jared Cole (Paul Walker) and his girlfriend Sam Nicholson (Razzie nominated Jessica Alba) decide to take a diving trip, with Jared's best friend Bryce Dunn (Scott Caan) and his new selfish New York girlfriend Amanda Collins (Ashley Scott). After spending a little time in their paradise, they come across some pieces of treasure on top of some sort of ship or something. But then even more interesting, a crashed plane on the sea bed, and inside a whole hoard of cargo bags containing cocaine, but they are not telling anyone else about this until they find enough of the treasure to make their fortune, and they are ignoring the drugs. Slowly, they realise that their are people looking to take their hundreds of cocaine bags, and Jared and Sam's lives are in danger as suspected of thieving. They are on a race against time to make sure the shipwreck is found, and the cocaine stash destroyed, along with the bad guys, before it's too late. Also starring Josh Brolin (James's son) as Bates, James Frain as Reyes, Dwayne Adway as Roy, Tyson Beckford as Primo, Gill Montie as Big Dave and Chris Taloa as Quinn. Just like the near predecessor, the ocean sequences are beautifully filmed, and there are some good moments of diving and jet skis, and seeing the two girls, well, Alba more so, in bikinis, makes good viewing, but this film doesn't stay consistent. It is interesting for the first forty to fifty minutes, but then it trails into a boring non exciting crime thing, so while it isn't all boring, it isn't as good as the film that came before. Okay!
