I saw Into the Blue for two reasons – Jessica Alba and the underwater scenes. That’s exactly what I got at least. Never mind the dragging plot; I wasn’t expecting compelling twists and climaxes to begin with.

Into the Blue is three genres of movies rolled into 2 hours of clear saltwater. It’s a love story, a treasure-hunt adventure and Jaws. Paul Walker (The Fast and the Furious) plays Jared - a diving instructor-slash-treasure finder. Jared’s girlfriend is Sam (Jessica Alba - Dark Angel) and they live in a trailer. Jared and Sam’s friend Bryce comes over from the big city with Amanda – the blonde Bryce just picked up from a club the other night.

The foursome goes diving for some shrunken pirate ship treasure and discovers a plane loaded with multi-million-worth cocaine. Soon after, blinded by the money, Bryce betrays Jared and decides to sell the cocaine. That’s when they get entangled with the drug lords.

The scenes were great because there were lots of underwater acts – like 80 percent of the film was shot underwater. Unfortunately it got really dragging with a lot of stuff happening that the director could’ve done away with. The character build-up was working well for Sam and Jared whose love for each other is supposed to be worth more than the millions of dollars they’ve found on the plane. Hmmm, I think I can go sell out my soul to the devil for a couple million bucks really. But anyway, somehow the directors found a way to keep the audience from falling asleep – whenever it gets boring and uninteresting; they focus on Jessica Alba’s tight butt-cheeks in bikinis. Works like a charm! Sometimes they throw in a shark attack, some blood and a missing limb.

Jared is portrayed much like the one Paul Walker played on The Fast and the Furious. He’s indecisive and gullible. Sam is the girl who doesn’t care about money and won’t mind living in a trailer as long as they’ve got love. Oh yeah, right, AND PIGS FLY.

Seriously, if you’ve got looks like her, you’d want to get pampered a lot because the women who aren’t interested in money and are happy enough with love are just plain ugly.
