Into the Deep (2025)

Divers looking for sunken treasure encounter pirates after witnessing the murder of drug smugglers. The pirates take control of their boat and force them to dive into shark-infested waters to retrieve drugs, not realizing a great treasure lies below them. Into the Deep is a 2025 thriller directed by Christian Sesma and starring Scout Taylor-Compton, Stuart Townsend, and Richard Dreyfuss. Into the Deep is one of several movies with a plot involving people trapped on a boat with deadly sharks swimming around. This time around, there is a stash of drugs and a hidden treasure that makes the movie more like Peter Benchley's The Deep, but with sharks. The shark effects are impressive for the film, and the underwater scenes feature people swimming in water. While the plot is derivative, the story is engaging, and Ms. Taylor-Compton is excellent in her role. The stunt casting of Richard Dreyfuss does tie the movie more toward Jaws, but at least there are some background reasons explained. A better movie than most of the other films on my marathon, Into the Deep, is one I wouldn't mind watching again or owning.
