I put forward two words to describe this film - attractive and undemanding.
It looks good - the scenery is pleasing, the leads are all very attractive, the underwater sequences are vivid and spectacular. And, if you put your brain on hold, the story marches along well enough - when it flags there are, at least, attractive things to look at.
The idiot lawyer (Scott Caan) really irritated - I could forgive the plot much, but not for asking me to accept that this complete chump belonged to a profession which, like 'em or loathe 'em, does require its members to use their brains.
And, having established the maverick nature of his girlfriend as well as her unknown provenance, I felt the plot could have made more use of her as opposed to her ultimately disposable function in the story.
And the editor should be shot for letting the same extra wander through the airport checkout twice.
But I wasn't expecting Shakespeare. Attractive, undemanding escapism - that's what I was demanding, that's what I got.
