'Into the Blue': An all-wet summer movie leftover
by Bob Longino

Here's what you need to know about "Into the Blue": The Bahamas looks like a great place to go scuba diving, and Jessica Alba, tanner than you've ever seen her, mostly wears a skimpy bikini. You just know young, pretty and sleek movie stars like Alba and Paul Walker have it rough. That's because when they work they have to wear flip-flops, tanks and shorts all the time — except when they happen to be diving, which requires them to wear less underwater. Wearing less is what they do a lot in this movie, which means there's not much in the way of dialogue but a whole lot of time available for moviegoers to ogle limber bodies. Toss in a couple of gratuitous crotch shots and we've got a contender for the No. 1 weekend moneymaker. Read the full review

TO SUM UP
Four young divers discover a legendary shipwreck at the bottom of the sea that is rumored to contain a fortune in gold. But nearby on the ocean floor, a sunken plane full of illegal cargo threatens their find, and one of the friends makes a fatal decision that turns the treasure hunters into the hunted.
