Into The Blue (2005) 7/10

Starring : Paul Walker, Jessica Alba, Scott Caan, Ashley Scott, Josh Brolin
Director : John Stockwell
Running Time : 110 mins

Jared (Walker) is a small time wannabe treasure hunter in the Bahamas, where he lives a quiet existence with his girlfriend Sam (Alba), but when they discover a wrecked plane on the sea bed filled with cocaine, Jared's friend Bryce (Caan) and his new girlfriend Amanda (Scott) decide to cash in by selling the drugs to a local crime lord. However, when the drugs turn out to belong to said crim lord, things become very complicated for all four of them.

I was actually surprised to find that this was a pretty enjoyable movie, and not just because you get to see lots of shots of Jessica Alba's behind. The plot, although a little slow going, soon picks up and draws you in to the movie as you try to figure what direction the director is going to take us in. Definitely worth checking out.
