Description

When they take some friends on an extreme sport adventure, the last thing Jared and Sam expect to see below the shark-infested waters is a legendary pirate ship rumored to contain millions of dollars in gold. But their good fortune is short-lived, as a ruthless gang of criminals gets word of what they have uncovered.

    Well I think the poster says it all, and if it's eye candy you are looking for then for the first hour or so neither Paul Walker nor Jessica Alba are going to disappoint. That comes later when they have to put their clothes on and do some acting with this far-fetched hybrid of drug smuggling and wreck-diving. It's the latter activity that convinces these two along with "Bryce" (Scott Caan) and "Amanda" (Ashley Scott) that their fortunes could be made. Snag is, you can't just raise tons of ancient booty from the sea bed and sail into harbour with it. What's this to do with drugs? Well we know from the preamble that a plane has crashed, and that it contains a great deal of cocaine. Guess what? Yep, they find it. Initially wanting nothing to do with it, they later conclude that they ought to try and sell it - and that brings them into conflict with "Bates" (Josh Brolin) who wants to have his cake and eat it! As the pace quickens, there now ensues loads of action-packed shenanigans in and out of the water. It's not the worst, indeed the last twenty minutes (allowing for some fairly obvious CGI) is actually quite an exciting sequence that allows everyone to get wet and bothered - and you'd better be able to tell the difference between a Tiger shark and a tuna fish. Brolin makes for quite a decent baddy, Caan - well he probably ought to be called Caan't, and the two on the poster show us that beautiful people still have a place on the small screen.
