Movie Reviews of The Deep
Movie Review: No widescreen copies anywhere?
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought a copy online, but returned it when I found it was fullscreen only. I thought it would be like the version I rent from my local store - fullscreen on one side, anamorphic widescreen on the other. It doesn't look like a single seller here is selling a widescreen version. To find it, I may have to look elsewhere.
Summary of The Deep
Surface tension rises as an innocent couple whose love of deep sea diving involves them in a deadly web of murder. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 09/20/2005 Starring: Jacqueline Bisset Nick Nolte Run time: 124 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Peter YatesAn obvious attempt to cash in on the success of Jaws, this 1977 thriller was also based on a bestseller by Peter Benchley, and it features a memorable performance by Robert Shaw (the doomed shark hunter in Jaws) in one of the last roles of his career. Looking very tanned and healthy, Nick Nolte and Jacqueline Bisset play a young couple enjoying a tropical vacation who discover a glass ampoule while scuba diving off the coast of Bermuda. It takes a seasoned treasure hunter (Shaw) to identify the ampoule as part of a valuable shipment of World War II morphine lost at sea, coincidentally, atop the even greater treasure of a sunken Spanish galleon. Thus begins a race for drugs and treasure pitting Nolte, Bisset, and Shaw against a ruthless drug lord (Louis Gossett Jr.) who'll do anything--even resort to Haitian voodoo--to get what he wants. It's all rather contrived and exploitative (after all, the movie's best known for Bisset's wet T-shirt scuba-dive), but as escapist entertainment goes it's got some exciting highlights including a moray eel that attacks on cue and... well, uh, Jacqueline Bisset in a wet T-shirt. --Jeff Shannon
