Into the Blue

I went to see Into the Blue based on surprisingly good reviews in the paper (and I had little else to do after a 12 hour shift on a business trip). Treasure hunting in the Caribbean goes awry when the divers discover a crashed plane loaded with cocaine. There are a few predictable moments, particularly from the brash dipstick lawyer friend (played by Scott Caan), but also plenty of unexpected turns to keep the movie from feeling like a stale action-adventure story. The film is beautifully shot and has Jessica Alba in a swimsuit... a lot.

I'm tempted to give it an A for that last part alone, but I'll take a cold shower and give it a strong B+.
