Into the Deep review Richard Dreyfuss brings the meaning to smugglers v sharks thriller
Briefly

This maritime thriller follows treasure hunters led by Cassie, whose traumatic past with sharks resurfaces when they dive for sunken drug parcels. Her husband, Gregg, and an incompetent crew face challenges from ex-Navy Seals, leading to graphic gore and little suspense. While the interactions are clichéd and the plot weak, Richard Dreyfuss uncovers the ecological importance of sharks in a post-credits lecture, imparting some depth to the otherwise shallow film and earning it a slight reprieve with an extra star rating.
Dreyfuss delivers a little Ted Talk during the closing credits, extolling the beauty of sharks and their significance to the ecosystem, earning the film an extra star.
The film mixes treasure hunting with drug smuggling and features bizarre dialogue, with flashbacks that distract from a weak plot involving sharks.
