Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
semielco I was very pleased - much more than I anticipated - by this piece of cinema. The basic premise has been done before, of course, but the idea of applying it to the world of saturation diving teams is a good one. We all depend to some extent on these people but how many of us are aware of the work they do or the intense levels of teamwork required to live their life? This film opens our eyes to something little-known.The concept is supported by a fine script, realistic development of both situation and character and excellent camerawork. The film creates a genuine feeling of being drawn into a normally closed environment, but with enough use of technical references and the like to remind us that this a life which is alien to most of us.The actors do a very fine job of portraying a mix of hope and despair, confidence and frailty, friendship and tension. Its an beautiful job all round. This is a very human and touching piece of filmmaking.
Leofwine_draca This low budget British thriller does disaster on a small scale. It's a single location film in which four divers find themselves trapped on the ocean floor in a diving bell when the oil operation they're working on is hit by a storm, sinking the vessel above and leaving them stranded and with their oxygen running out. It's a great set-up and one that thrilled me with awe, but sadly the execution of this film is less than stellar and fails to get the right balance of sympathy and suspense. With the constant bad language none of the characters are very sympathetic and most get on your nerves after a while.The film's failure can be laid directly at the door of the writer, who fumbles the premise after a solid first half an hour. Certainly the experienced cast members, including Danny Huston and Matthew Goode, can't be faulted, although the dullest character (played by Joe Cole) unfortunately gets the lion's share of the screen time. PRESSURE is thrilling at first but as it moves towards the end, the tension should really be mounting but instead the story seems to slow down and devolves into various fantasies experienced by the main characters. I don't want to watch any of this mindless filler, I want to see the protagonists fighting back against impending death, and only Huston seems to do this. In the end, it's a missed opportunity.
albert_holton This review contains huge spoilers. Saw this movie in hope of a thrilling claustrophobic experience. But this was a disappointment. First of all the plot feels thin. Why is there a oil pipeline on the ocean floor outside Somalia? Why would a ship ever have thrown anchor in these pirate infested waters?Then the real crimes against the laws of nature begins. One of the divers has brought a bottle of shampoo in to the diving bell. A bell where there are no visible reasons to bring any hygiene products at all. When starting to descend another diver warns him about the risk of having it explode! because the increased pressure in the bell. That would of course only make the bottle less likely to leak. But the moment after the diver opens the lid and gets sprayed with shampoo. When finally ascending they argue about the risk of the bell not being capable of handling the shift in pressure. Most likely, the bell will be okay with a decreased pressure. Like this the movie goes on with total ignorance of what is realistic in a deep sea adventure. Just a waste of time in my opinion.
haggar If you have an average intelligence, you will notice all the typical plot lines, written according to a very strict template. You know immediately that there will be an accident. You know who will be involved. You know WHEN it will happen. You know that, of the group of people in the involved, only ONE will survive. You also know WHO that person will be.If you are a person with average intelligence, you will simply fast- forward to check your assumptions, and find all to be correct. This movie doesn't take more than 10 minutes to "enjoy".Acting and directing was good, but the awesome predictability of the plot is an insult.
