Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3.5/5 --
a memorable ride back to the shaggy '70s, and more than a little harrowing one.

In the end, like too many other recent thrillers, it is a triumph of matter over mind, but at least it holds your interest while you are watching it.

Advertised as another Jaws. I think there was an eel that popped out once.

Fairly shallow, actually.

The Deep is an interesting action movie that manages to keep us at the edge of our seats for an hour and a half. [Full Review in Spanish]

A sleek and empty vessel, inspired not by Jaws but by the boxoffice for Jaws.

Product Description:
This visually stunning action-adventure film, based on the best-selling novel by JAWS author Peter Benchley, stars Nick Nolte and Jaqueline Bissett as a couple on a romantic holiday in Bermuda. New Yorkers, David Sanders (Nolte) and Gail Berke (Bissett) are enjoying a much-needed vacation; while diving one day they discover the sunken wreck of a WWII freighter and unearth a gold coin as well as a mysterious glass ampule. Excited, they believe their discovery could be a long lost treasure, but they soon learn that their most valuable discovery is actually an ampule of morphine, one of thousands left behind on the medical supply ship. This discovery leads them into the hands of Henry Cloche (Louis Gossett Jr.), an extremely dangerous and powerful Haitian drug dealer who will stop at nothing to unearth the dangerous treasure. With the help of Romer Treece (Robert Shaw), an old treasure hunter, David and Gail soon realize that they have made a much more important discovery than the morphine and set out to keep their actual treasure a secret. Director Peter Yates's suspenseful film features death-defying dives and exquisite underwater photography. Posters of Bissett underwater in a T-shirt adorned many a dorm wall in the late 1970s.
