A question or two...

Haven't seen the film for ages, so I can't remember if that scenes in it. As for the first post, yes Gail and David are good people. The morphine is simply a distraction to them, as it is the treasure that they are interested in. I did enjoy this film. Alot of reviews of the film seem to say this was an obvious cash in from Jaws etc.. Indeed you could think this, but the real reason is that Peter Benchley was a good author who was lucky enough to have had a story that he's written called Jaws adapted and made into a film by one of the up and coming directors called Spielberg. I'm sure I even read somewhere that The Deep was written even before Jaws, so if you look at it that way, the only cash in is that it is of a similar ocean adventure that really is infact taken from an earlier Benchley book. Either way, A few works have been adapted from his novels, mostly TV movies, which look like to me as being either dumbed down or badly acted or directed. At least with Jaws and the film we are here for - The Deep, you get to see on screen most of what appears to be the meat of his novels. The Deep is an enjoyable follow up to Jaws, if you wish to call it a follow up.
