THE DEEP (Theatrical Release USA 1977)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì

The Deep, not a new idea, but if one hasn’t seen a movie for a while on diving for lost treasure in the ocean, this film works to entertain. The characters are relatable, the portrayal of story good. The movie works as a fair to middling action flick while eating lunch.
