4	''Into the Blue'' is a 2005 action thriller directed by Creator/JohnStockwell, starring Creator/JessicaAlba and Creator/PaulWalker.

6	The film centers around two lovers, Sam (Alba) and Jared (Walker), who live in the Bahamas. With Jared's pal Bryce (Creator/ScottCaan) and his ladyfriend Amanda (Creator/AshleyScott) they go looking for sunken treasure and find a plane that crashed in the ocean; said plane has lots of drugs on board which some very nasty types want...

8	...but that's not really point of the movie, which is that the cast, especially Jessica Alba, are visually appealing people, and seeing them in swimwear in a tropical paradise is a balm for the drudgery of normal life. That's how to make a movie that gets a good return on investment.

10	Followed by an InNameOnly DirectToDVD sequel in 2009.
11	----
12	!!This movie has examples of:
13	* AccidentalHero: They all apply for killing the bad guys, but one almost humorous example is when Sam is fighting one of Bates' thugs in the water and a tiger shark comes along and eats him.
14	* BeachEpisode: This is pretty much the point of the whole movie. Swimsuits, ahoy!
15	* ExcusePlot: It's no secret that this movie is more concerned with the [[FanService visuals]] than the plot.
16	* MaleGaze:
17	** The infamous scenes featuring Alba swimming (which you get to see again behind the closing credits).
18	** Not to mention Ashley Scott on the deck with the camera looking between her legs.
19	* MsFanservice: Sam is featured in many shots in just her two-piece swimsuit and sometimes less.
20	* PleasePutSomeClothesOn: Amanda is asked to cover up when some Coast Guard types come across her sunbathing topless.
21	* RecycledPremise: Not a bad film, but it was better when it was called ''Film/TheDeep1977'':
22	** Young lovers who enjoy diving, hoping to strike it rich by discovering a shipwreck full of treasure? Check.
23	** Finding such a shipwreck, only to find another wreck on top of it packed with [[DrugsAreBad a different kind of treasure]]? Check.[[note]]A World War II cargo ship with a hold full of morphine in ''The Deep'', a crashed plane full of cocaine here.[[/note]]
24	** Local drug lords trying to bully our heroes into helping them recover the stuff? Check.
25	** Big underwater fight against said drug lords, in which some ocean predators dispose of the bad guys? Double check.
26	* ToplessnessFromTheBack: Amanda in the scene when the police come up to the boat.
27	* WalkingSwimsuitScene: Almost the entire movie for the main characters, though it's mostly justified, considering it's set in the Bahamas.
