Review of The Big Blue (1988) by Grant S — 30 Aug 2015
Interesting but slow, long and clumsy.
The story of two childhood friends with a love for the sea and diving. They drift apart but are reunited by the competitive world of free diving. Their eagerness to set new depth records drives them to incredible feats, and great danger...
Starts off quite amateurishly. The childhood scenes and the acting therein is quite badly done. However, it gets better after that and the plot is interesting enough. It never does shake that clumsy amateurishness present in the first few scenes though.
Is very slow and overly long too. Far too many scenes in the movie that could easily have been cut or at least edited somewhat.
Performances are mostly OK, but not brilliant. Nobody really stands out. Jean Reno is probably the best of the bunch.
