May look good cavorting prettily on deck, but ultimately it deserves to walk the plank.Read the full review

Laughably awful.Read the full review

Entertainment Weekly | Owen GleibermanAdd Critic to Favorites

Walker is supposed to be lured by the buried treasure, but the actor, wearing Brad Pitt's bristle cut, is like Pitt with his sexy appetite sucked out.Read the full review

The makers of Into the Blue know what the audience wants. And they deliver a little bit more.Read the full review
