Film Review – Into the Deep (2025)

“Into the Deep” doesn’t have much going for it, with the possible exception of co-star Richard Dreyfuss, who returns, 50 years later, to shark cinema, trying to offer a little “Jaws” magic to the production. Unfortunately, director Christian Sesma is no Steven Spielberg. He’s a B-movie guy typically in charge of pictures with generic titles (such as “72 Hours,” “Take Back,” and “Paydirt”) and limited action, and he continues down this career path with “Into the Deep,” which actually contains very little shark activity. Instead of panic in the ocean, there are dim-witted pirates, diving challenges, and basic screenwriting (credited to Chad Law and Josh Ridgway). Suspense isn’t invited to the endeavor, and while film fanatics might get a charge out of Dreyfuss’s appearance, they probably won’t feel much of anything for the rest of this flat, lifeless chiller.
