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.
#IN THE DEEP MOVIE CAST MOVIE#
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. For one, the managers consulted with BP engineers offsite for second opinions.Peter Benchley made a name for himself by writing Jaws. But, while their decisions may have been ill-conceived, in reality they gave them more thought than the movie suggests. The film also depicts the BP managers as acting quickly and callously-making life and death decisions in a matter of minutes and disregarding any dissent. In reality, witnesses said, that theory was concocted by a Transocean employee. In one scene, for instance, Vidrine concocts a convenient theory that would allow the drilling process to move faster. Still, investigations complicate the simple picture told in Deepwater Horizon. And, as a result, the company paid a $20 billion settlement for the environmental toll and another $4 billion in a criminal probe. BP created a culture where profit was prioritized over safety, according to federal officials.
BP received the brunt of the blame for the disaster in the aftermath of the incident. That depiction is accurate-but only to an extent. And, when the Transocean employees follow orders, disaster ensues. The BP managers-led by a villainous John Malkovich playing Donald Vidrine-pressure Transocean employees to cut corners on the project. (BP owns the well, but the drilling operation is run by a company called Transocean). The movie opens with BP managers traveling to the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in an attempt to expedite a project that has fallen more than a month behind at a cost of millions of dollars. There’s no question that BP is the bad guy in Deepwater Horizon. Here’s what to know about how the movie approaches the truth. But, still, the movie’s portrayal is not flawless. The movie draws heavily from a throughly researched 2010 New York Times article documenting the incident.
