The premise of this movie cannot be derived by the previews so leave any notions of what this movie is about at the door (or before you pop the dvd in).
The movie starts off and lays its ground work in a rather solid way, surprisingly and the acting by paul walker is actually not that bad consdering his last couple of (very bad) performances.
Jessica Alba also does an admirable job in this movie.
The other characters and the story, which meanders from one missive to the next and the next after that, keep the movie going rather smoothly.
So it sounds like it will be a good flick right?
Well not quite, its a good movie but the tempo is stilted and some of the "mis-directions" that are introduced are ludicrous and not necessary.
The music and the scenery is excellent but the last quarter of the movie lurches from one unbelievable situation to the next, all while intermingling some not so bad story-telling.
Its worth watching IMO if just for the under-water scenery and Alba in a bikini basically the whole movie.
3/5 OSNN stars. Not exactly crap, but far from gold.
