Submerged

Not sure this one is gonna win an Oscar, but it's impressive work for such a low budget. They seemed to bite off a lot and although there were a few misses, overall it connects. It's definitely a fun ride and hits with some good tension and scares. Performances hold up under difficult circumstances. Overall it's very enjoyable and would recommend to others.

Submerged (2016) is a survival thriller movie directed by Steven C. Miller and it was a first time watch for me and the movie was pretty mediocre.

Positives for Submerged (2016): The premise of the movie has some potential and it is done well for the most part. The performances from the cast particularly from Jonathan Bennett, Talulah Riley and Tim Daly are good enough. The underwater submerged sequence is pretty tense and suspenseful to watch. And finally, the action sequences are decently well shot for the most part.

Negatives for Submerged (2016): This movie feels like it was shot during a weekend trip. For some reason, they used CGI for the bullets used with the guns and it looks hilariously bad. The villains of this movie are hilariously generic and one-dimensional and they were away to beat. And finally, the movie was way too long as the pacing was horrible and it was dragging me like a punk.

Overall, Submerged (2016) is a typical and generic by the numbers survival thriller movie that has its moments, but it is a movie that I probably won't be rewatching anytime soon.

Submerged is a isolating thriller that sets the stage with a limousine submerged in a body of water. We don't know how they got there but the cabin is filling with water. The movie intersects the action with flashbacks of how it all led there. Matt is tasked with looking after this important guys daughter named jessie. But some bad people are after her for kidnapping and one thing leads to another and they end up in water along with her friends. Its a good decent thriller. It has some intense parts with better parts as the movie gets to its climax. Acting was alright and good enough and overall I liked it.

I watched in morbid fascination as Jonathan Bennett effectively killed his acting career. Although likeable enough in rom com or as a host, he is just plain weird in this. His acting is off, all the time. Clearly, JB was out of his element with this one.

As of the story, it is full of holes and in dire need of some logic. Someone in tge writing department should have regroup their thoughts cause this story is all over the place.

The characters are utterly forgettable. How did they get Tim Daly on board for that colossal fail is beyond me! Watch something else, unless you love bad movies.

First of all this is a B-movie. Don't judge is as a film by Spielberg of Tarantino. As a thriller it has enough suspense and twists. The scenario is interesting and actors are doing very well. Overall Submerged is worth watching and I didn't regret that I stumbled upon it. Don't pay attention to reviews – watch the film and decide for yourself!
