100 things I've learned from "Into the Blue"

1. A group consisting of mostly broke 20-somethings will be unable to raise $30,000 to rent some salvage equipment, but will still have the means for two of them to live in a luxury hotel/rented villa on the Bahamas *and* to have a 50-feet-plus powerboat at their disposal for their daily snorkeling expeditions.

2. A broke diving-guide who just lost his job and stumbles upon 800 kilos of pure coke will not even consider using those drugs to get him out of his financial troubles. Naw.. best to just dump that stuff back into the ocean.

3. Amanda will do a complete stranger for a few lines of coke.

4. The Caribbean seafloor is littered with both downed planes full of Colombian pure *and* lost treasure galleons. Most of the time, one will be within spitting distance of the other.

5. Jessica Alba's ass is apparently too hot for US audiences.

6. Jaqueline Bisset and Nick Nolte were way hotter as a movie-couple than Alba/Walker.

7. When your best friend is a diving-guide with the lung-capacity of a sperm whale, you'll also be automatically able to hold your breath underwater for minutes on end to stay with him. Even if you're a hard-partying lawyer from New York.

Didn't watch the movie huh?

1. Bryce is a hot shot lawyer who defended a scumbag on racketeering charges. He paid the firms bill with the mansion, boat and jet skis.

2. This was obviously part of character development establishing Jared and Sam as "the moral good guys", aka: Heroes of the story. Also, not everyone can just decide to sell 800 kilos of coke on a whim.

3. Amanda did no such thing. She was flirting and Primo taunted Bryce by saying: Ask her ow she gon' pay for it.

4. The movie establishes that the area surrounding the Bahamas is a known drug trafficking route and in the opening scene we see the plane with the coke crash in the Caribbean sea. The movie also established that hurricanes (like the one that just passed through prior to the start of the movie) often stir up sand and reveal lost treasures.

5. Not too hot for me.

6. Gent bent!

7. Fair point.

8 Besides having the lung capacity of a sperm whale, Jared apparently has a Houdini-like ability to free himself whilst being handcuffed behind his back. Either that, or Bryce has bolt cutters ready inside the downed plane.🐭

8. Caribbean druglords are white and their second-in-command and henchmen black.

9. When you have a douchebag-type guy and his slutty-type girlfriend who keep going on on how you don't know how to have fun or that you're no fun... he's gonna get you into trouble.

10. Women that look like Jessica Alba will never leave your poor ass unless you decide too make easy money.
