Into the Blue was released in the fall of 2005. The movie made around 18 million domestically. The movie is about four divers who go treasure hunting and get involved with drug dealers. The movie stars Paul Walker, Jessica Alba, Scott Caan, Ashley Scott, Josh Brolin, James Frain, Tyson Beckford, Dwayne Adway, Javon Frazer, and Chris Taloa.
Into the Blue was decent. It was kind of boring at times, but it picked up toward the end. It seemed like it took a little too long to get into the action. Paul Walker and Jessica Alba did a good job. The whole cast did a good job. Paul Walker and Jessica Alba really carried the movie, and they had good chemistry. Josh Brolin also did a good job in his role as well.
I am not that surprised Into the Blue bombed. From what I remember when it was advertised, it seemed kind of like a typical adventure movie. What might have helped the movie do better was if it was released in the summer instead of the end of September. It may not have been a huge hit, but it could have made more than the 18 million it accumulated at the box office. Sometimes a release date does matter for how a movie performs.
Into the Blue was a decent length. It seemed a little too long at parts, especially at the beginning. What made it tolerable was Paul Walker and Jessica Alba. Into the Blue probably could have been a little shorter. It also would have made a difference if the action kicked in a little sooner. It seemed it took a little too long to get into the main plot.
Into the Blue was a decent movie with a nice setting. It is a fairly light and typical treasure hunting action movie with a good cast. Paul Walker and Jessica Alba were the right choice to carry the film.
