Into The Blue

Herald rating: * *  

Paul Walker and Jessica Alba star as Jared of the Washboard Stomach and Sam of the Multifarious Bikinis, lovers who live on a boat in the Bahamas and search for buried treasure.

Bates (Josh Brolin) is rich and lucky and has a bigger and faster boat. He wants to hire Jared but Sam thinks there's something dodgy about him.

Bryce (Scott Caan), Jared's friend, pitches up in Paradise with his new girlfriend, Amanda (Ashley Scott). They all go diving and (surprise!) find two lots of treasure in the same place. One cache is old, the other is new. But to cash in, they will have to bend the rules.

Proof that it is possible to make a full-length movie based on the male star's six-pack and the female's flat tummy. But few viewers will be able to stomach it.
