TEMPTATION IS BLISS.
A group of young divers in the Bahamas locate a sunken plane with forbidden cargo, and end up in trouble with violent drug dealers. The man who brought us Blue Crush (2002) delivers another empty, sun-drenched flick stacked with tanned hardbodies. Jessica Alba never wears more clothes than is absolutely necessary for the sake of decency. It’s a pretty film to look at (plenty of scenes underwater that look like an aquarium), and reasonably entertaining… but it takes forever until we get to the action.
2005-U.S. 110 min. Color. Widescreen. Directed by John Stockwell. Cast: Paul Walker (Jared), Jessica Alba (Sam), Scott Caan (Bryce), Ashley Scott, Josh Brolin, James Frain.
Trivia: Followed by a direct-to-DVD sequel, Into the Blue 2: The Reef (2009).
