The movie on the other hand, is a dull mediocre disappointment, I'm not sure why either. That last sentence mostly refers to the book. The set up is rather typical for action/adventure/treasure hunt thrillers, but even then, it's pretty enjoyable. The story follows a young couple on a romantic vacation in the Caribbean who stumble uon a sunken ship while scuba diving that could lead to untold riches.and immense danger. Then, he decided to step in and adapt that book for this cinematic adaptation. He continued the trend by writing The Deep. It’s the first time I truly adored such a bunch of idiots, and just for that this movie deserves a medal.Peter Benchley made a name for himself by writing Jaws. I love the bond, I love the friendship, even if they all shared one brain cell.
The cast had amazing chemistry and sold the story through their acting. Overall, not smart, not groundbreaking, but truly fun to watch. The plot twist was there… and I was like OH! But then I went into Oh? Wait… what? And then I had to remind myself that no one is using their brain in the movie, so for them the actions might make sense. I had some issues with the directing in terms of pacing… felt a bit jarring. The effect used when showcasing the messed up perception after sleepless nights of the main cast were well done. Love the soundtrack, and I found it truly fitting.
It’s supposed to be a thriller, but damn, I thought it was some dark comedy on crack.
That said, the characters being so stupid, which leads to the plot being so stupid, was exactly what I liked about it. I mean, I knew they were all dumb when female lead asked about money and not side effects at the beginning of the movie, even though she is a medical student ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I was watching the movie laughing, face palming and asking “why y'all making it so difficult when it’s not?”. It's a pure brainless entertainment: the writer has no brain, the characters have no brain, and by the end of the movie, you will also have no brain.Īll the build up tension and clock ticking to the tune of death are hilarious when you know there is a ridiculously easy solution to the dilemma the characters are facing. Deep has a negative brain cell energy and I live for it.
