Into the Blue ★★ 2005 (PG-13)

Sam (Alba) works for an entertainment venture, bobbing about in a bikini and feeding sharks all day. Jared (Walker) has a similar affinity to water, earning his keep as a scuba instructor. Together they hunt for buried treasure, instead finding a cocaine stash buried at the bottom of the ocean in a crashed plane. Of course, the drug dealers aren't too happy to have them sniffing around the goods. Amazingly, there is a bit of a plot behind what first appears to be a video swimsuit catalog. Sure, attractive young people in bathing suits are the focus, but flick surprises with a decent dose of adventure, action, suspense, and some interesting underwater scenes. 110m/C DVD, Blu-ray Disc, UMD . US Paul Walker, Jessica Alba, Scott Caan, Ashley Scott, Josh Brolin, James Frain, Tyson Beckford; D: John Stockwell; W: Matt Johnson; C: Shane Hurlbut; M: Paul Haslinger.
