Jared Cole and his girlfriend Sam Nicholson are a young couple living in the Caribbean. Jared is an unemployed diver whose dream is to find treasure in the Caribbean Sea and Sam works at a local resort as a shark handler. When Jared's best friend Bryce Dunn, a selfish New York lawyer and his new girlfriend Amanda Collins arrive, the two couples spend a couple of days experiencing paradise. But, they discover an airplane on the sea floor that crashed during a hurricane and they find the cargo on-board the airplane is cocaine. Jared and Sam's lives are in danger, when Bryce and Amanda make a deal with a dangerous drug lord who wants the cocaine. Jared's rival, Treasure Hunter Derek Bates learns what they are doing and tries to negotiate the cocaine to raise money for a expedition where he intends to find a sunken boat with treasure. Jared, Sam, Bryce, and Amanda find themselves racing against time to find the shipwreck before somebody else does. A group of divers find themselves in deep trouble with a drug lord after they come upon the illicit cargo of a sunken airplane. It's been a while since I have done a short review just because I feel I would be cheating the reader. But sometimes movies suck so bad and are so predictable that giving the movie a thoughtful review is not fair to me because the people who created the movie didn't think about you so why should I give them the same consideration. So, I will say that the only reason to see this movie is Jessica Alba and her body.<br/><br/>So Paul Walker(Fast and the Furious) does a bad job portraying Jared, a loser who pretty much has nothing to live for except a sinking boat and a delusional, yet very hot girlfriend named Sam, played by Jessica Alba (Fantastic Four.) Both of them along with two incredibly stupid friends go treasure hunting, since they are in the Bahamas, that's what people do, and may have found a 200 year old sunken ship. Oh, and a airplane that crashed in the water with enough Cocaine to fill Robert Downy Jr.'s prescription for life. So the four have to fight the drug smugglers, other treasure hunters, and corrupt policemen, who all work for each other by the way, to try and get this sunken ship. Wee! Yes, well, this movie sucks. Speaking of sucking, let's talk about Paul Walker for a second. I have seen things floating in a toilet bowl that act better than him. I was so tired of seeing close-ups of his incredibly cut body that I was violently ill, and that was after the first five minutes.<br/><br/>The only redeeming thing about this movie is that for at least three quarters of the movie, Jessica Alba is in a bikini, and there are some shots of her underwater that make me think that the only way you can see more of her skin is if she does a nude scene in a movie, or you are dating her. The director must have known that she was his only commodity and he used it well.<br/><br/>The script is so ridiculous and unbelievable that I just can't talk about it in a positive way so I won't talk about it at all. Safe to say that I can't imagine writer Matt Johnson doing another movie ever again. By the way, this is the same ass that wrote the incredibly horrible movie Torque. That should tell you how bad this movie is and how unbelievable the story became.<br/><br/>To sum up, movie sucks, Paul Walker sucks, and Jessica Alba continues to be ultra hot. This movie will be in my collection, once it hits a pawn shop and I can get it for $4, and I will just fast forward to the scenes with Alba swimming in the ocean. However, if you don't find her attractive, I suggest you go get circumcised because that will make your life just as rewarding as watching this movie. ***This review and others can be seen at www.bbmc.dockratent.com** "Into the Blue" gives straight teenagers a chance to ogle Jessica Alba's butt and pokies and gay boys a shot at surveying Brad Pitt clone Paul Walker's constant shirtless physique. That's about it.<br/><br/>Somewhere between the crotch and pex shots lurks a story concerning two couples' discovery of sunken treasures: the multi-million dollar bounty of a legendary shipwreck and a drug trafficker's submerged airplane loaded with kilos of cocaine.<br/><br/>The Coppertoned leads are certainly easy on the eyes during the opening travelogue passages, but when it comes to the business of acting Alba and Walker can't stay afloat. Walker is best grinning and baring it while Alba's method appears to be an uncanny ability to nod along with each syllable she pronounces.<br/><br/>Couple #2 consists of a taller, blonder version of Ms. Alba (Ashley Scott) who, unlike the sexless sex goddess doesn't mind appearing topless in long shot. Not since "Young Guns" has a film assembled a cast of second-generation talent. Scott Caan seems to have gotten the role of hotheaded party boy Bryce cause his old man played Sonny Corleone. Following in the dynastic footprints of Danny Baldwin and Chris Penn, Caan is another thick-necked ape who, when given a chance, provokes little more than unintentional laughs.<br/><br/>The villain in the piece is played by Josh Brolin, son of James Streisand. If only Josh put as much force into acting as he did into (allegedly) smacking around real-life spouse Diane Lane. Rounding out the family affair behind the lens is director John Stockwell, son of "Blue Velvet's" Dean Stockwell. Following the success of "Blue Crush," Stockwell seems to be the go-to man for updating the "Beach Party" cycle. As a director, Stockwell is best remembered for his acting in John Carpenter's killer-car film : "Christine." Laughably awful.
