Movie Reviews

Like the recently released Black Sea, this movie features a bunch of desperate men trapped underwater. A four-man pipeline repair crew find themselves stranded at the bottom of the Somali basin after their support ship ends up next to them instead of above them. Not an ideal situation, especially not when you’re stuck in a small space like a diving bell.

And so they bicker, argue and try to come to terms with their past mistakes before they run out of air. Oh yeah, they try and find a way out for about five minutes as well. Director Ron Scalpello does the best he can with what is obviously a relatively small budget, but awkward dialogues and a particularly uneventful script make the movie run out of air long before the characters do.
