Critics Consensus

Even the endless shots of bronzed beach babes and buffed dudes can't keep this soggy scuba flick's plot from drowning.

Into the Blue is fun to watch because it's, well, fun to watch - particularly when its stars dive into the blue in their various skimpy bathing suits (which they do often), but it's not much of thriller. Go to Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Apr 29, 2009

Lily K @RT11417529 Jul 26, 2026 Riveting thriller. Great action, cast and underwater scenes. 21 years later it still holds up better than 98.6% of the films today. See more Frans B @FransB Mar 29, 2026 Not too shabby. Not deserving of a 20% percent rating, I'd say, well and lots of others agree. Story not so hot, lazy writing left a couple of holes and funny (peculiar) conversation lines... Cast relatively convincing in character. Great cinematography and visually stunning. Action, drama, suspense, intrigue and twists, but all slightly watered down. See more Chris L @Christoph2000 Mar 8, 2026 Hollow and completely lacking in energy, pretty much all the credit for this Bahamian-set action flick should go to cinematographer Shane Hurlbut, for almost all the underwater shots are an absolute feast for the eyes. It has nothing else to match, and it's no wonder both that Into the Blue has largely flown under the radar ever since and that Josh Brolin's career was stuck in the mud until No Country for Old Men if this is the kind of tripe he was making. James Frain proves for the zillionth time that us Brits make particularly menacing villains, but he's out of the picture after a single scene, which can't help but feel like a waste. Then again, this whole picture largely is. See more Johnny Soule S @Soule Mar 2, 2026 Like many Paul Walker films, its one of those that won't win awards or come up much in conversation but that doesn't mean it isn't entertaining. Beautiful cinematography. Fun characters. Solid action. Jessica alba in bikinis. Whats not to love? See more Mike A. @333orion Dec 20, 2025 This movie was awesome and it had a 50 million budget to reach. 46 million is nothing to laugh at - and it brought in that amount. Great action and beautiful scenery. I hate that it is called a flop. Josh Brolin and the British actor from the movies 'Transit' and 'Reindeer Games' James Frain top off the great cast. See more M D @RT82513945 Sep 8, 2025 If the writers spent as much time on the plot as they did on unnecessary body shots, this might have been a better movie. The actors were not convincing in their roles. See more Read all reviews
