Into The Blue was a fun movie. It flopped at the box office but I think it was one of those films that did very well in rental (in the last days of Blockbuster and Video Ezy being a big deal). Most of the marketing was centred around seeing Alba's body, and to be fair her body looked amazing. All those slow-motion snorkelling scenes. Paul Walker was at the PEAK of his beauty. His body, tan, face, and that buzzcut. They made a stunning couple.

It was in a wave of beachy, surfy, summery movies in the early 00s that don't seem to get made as often any more. It started with The Beach (starring Leo), foreign hits like City of God, and Y Tu Mama Tambien. Even the Charlie's Angels sequel had a surfy bikini theme, the famous Halle Berry Bond bikini moment in Die Another Day. The director of Into The Blue had also made Blue Crush (a surprisingly good movie that still holds up today as an indie about a young girl trying to make a living, not just a chick flick).
