Into The Deep Review - A Disappointing Ride
The idea of Kate Cox's Into the Deep suggests that it will be a beautifully twisted thriller. Even though it might tilt toward camp, it ought to be at least mildly entertaining. Now, a movie doesn't necessarily turn into anything awful when it deviates from the viewer's initial expectations. Different can be good, but only if the film also manages to thrive in other ways. While Into the Deep occasionally hints at promise, it doesn't follow through on that promise. Something is still lacking. Into the Deep is hindered by a dearth of tension and unbelievable acts, unable to overcome these problems to become a compelling viewing experience.
Into the Deep is a weak thriller. It works reasonably well as a mystery, but it takes too long to reach the resolution. Those hoping for mind-blowing plot twists may be let down. Although Into the Deep excels in several areas, it ultimately lacks the weight to fully embrace any of its intriguing concepts. By the time the three protagonists' struggle comes to a violent conclusion, one just wishes that it had been a little more interesting.
