Critic Reviews

  • Matt Singer, Village Voice

    Any potential guilty pleasure is washed away in a sea of icky sermonizing.

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    I don't think there's anything wrong with an escapist adventure, but if you're rolling your eyes in disbelief at the plot and the dialogue, it makes it hard to enjoy the scenery.

  • Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

    Alba? We'd follow her anywhere, especially Into the Blue.

  • Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger

    The actors swim well, but emote poorly.

    John Stockwell's direction has always been nothing short of stunning. His composition and use of light against tinted lenses are stunning and always beautiful. It's a shame then that all his film are shite due to crap storylines and awful scripts. Into the Blue is an… More
