Into the Blue is as much a mesmerizing aquatic expedition as it is a reasonably suspenseful action adventure.Read the full review

Chicago Sun-Times | Roger EbertAdd Critic to Favorites

Offers modest pleasures. It is not an essential film, but if you go to see it, it will not insult your intelligence, and there's genuine suspense toward the end.Read the full review

It has all the elements one would expect from a "so bad it's good" feature: cheesy dialogue, a script that could have been written by two chimpanzees, acting that would make a high school drama teacher cringe, and lots of tight female bodies poured into tiny bikinis.

This undiluted nonsense is best suited to DVD-rental desperation. Still, aficionados of cheap cinematic thrills involving beautiful and stupid young people will be happy to learn that while the film fizzles far more than it sizzles, its director, John Stockwell, is a connoisseur of the female backside, which he displays to great and frequent advantage.Read the full review

Laughably awful.Read the full review

There will always be an audience for the escapist rewards this type of movie always dangles.Read the full review
