Johnson) will be coming down with a spare winch cable to attach to the cage. Kate swims up seven meters to resume communication with Taylor, who tells her that Javier ( Chris J. They are soon surrounded by great white sharks but the cable breaks, and the cage sinks 47 meters below the surface to the ocean floor and out of communication range with the boat. Taylor sends Lisa and Kate down, with masks that allow them to talk to him on the surface and to each other. Unbeknownst to everyone, the cable supporting the cage is fraying. They lie to Taylor and tell him that Lisa is experienced. Kate is a certified diver, but Lisa is new to diving. At the docks, Lisa is wary of the boat and its owner, Captain Taylor ( Matthew Modine). They decide to go watch sharks from a diving cage with two local men. The cast however save this film from being a dud as well as Peter Yates effective directing.Sisters Lisa ( Mandy Moore) and Kate ( Claire Holt) are on vacation in Mexico after Lisa's boyfriend recently broke up with her. This is still worth watching for a two hour mindless entertaining night of film. I'm not saying that this is a bad film, on the contrary, it's a good entertaining film, but I felt it could have been much better, and that Benchley could have written the book without putting references to Jaws. But considering that Benchley's story returns in some way to Jaws, it's no surprise that this film isn't great either because it lacks originality as well. The Deep is a mindless adventure film that could have been better. delivers here, unlike future film roles such as Iron Eagle. The cast do a great job though, and actor Louis Gossett Jr. I felt that it was too close to Jaws, and it ruined the film for me a bit. I think the idea of having the plot of the couple on a romantic couple looking for sunken treasure was good, but also they could have cut out the part of the killer fish. I've never read his book, The Deep, but with what I've seen here, you can clearly see that there are parts that echoes several scenes from Jaws, the book and the film. Writer Peter Benchley has written one great novel, Jaws over the course of his writing career, and he would always plagiarize his classic work to some extent. The film is a good adventure that had the potential of being something better. If you see the film, you'll understand why.
This film takes elements of Jaws and creates something new. Thriller based on Jaws author Peter Benchley's novel of the same name, The Deep is a good film, but is never anything great. I don't really recommend this, but if you want a treasure hunt movie, and don't mind if it's kinda bad, then sure, give this one a watch on a rainy day. To the film's credit, some of the music is okay, and the cinematography is really good, and I did like the underwater sequences, but overall, this movie was kinda blah, and the cheesy ending was way too silly, so much so that I was almost considering hating on this even more. The film's pacing just seemed really off, and it would probably seem disorienting to those not familiar with the book, and those who've read it, like me, will just be mad at the sloppy adaptation. She looks great in a tight, wet, white bikini, though. but I really had a hard time buying Nolte in the lead, and he doesn't have much chemistry with Bisset. The performances are okay, and there's a nice cast, including Robert Shaw, Eli Wallach, Nick Nolte, Jacqueline Bisset, and Louis Gossett Jr. The main thing is that the movie strips away a large amount of character development, condenses the story greatly, yet still has a run time of a little over 2 hours.
It's obvious that he probably wasn't going to have this top Jaws, but still, he could have done a lot better. The movie on the other hand, is a dull mediocre disappointment, I'm not sure why either. That last sentence mostly refers to the book. The set up is rather typical for action/adventure/treasure hunt thrillers, but even then, it's pretty enjoyable. The story follows a young couple on a romantic vacation in the Caribbean who stumble uon a sunken ship while scuba diving that could lead to untold riches.and immense danger. Then, he decided to step in and adapt that book for this cinematic adaptation. He continued the trend by writing The Deep. Peter Benchley made a name for himself by writing Jaws.
