Deep Gold (2011)
7/10
Great Rental Movie

Warning: Spoilers
Deep Gold is a take on a classic storyline – lost gold and the race to find it – action scenes, beautiful girls and fantastic scenery. It's a visual treat.

One of the great pluses is that for once, the running time is sensible. It drives me crazy that so many movies these days run close to two hours.

The underwater scenes were on the dark side, made worse by the need to wear glasses for the 3D. Considering the cost and technical requirements that must have gone into them, the 3D undermined those scenes.

Some of the supporting actors make for entertaining watching. Michael Gleissner played the duplicitous villain really well. Laury Prudent does a solid job, although I think there should have been some explanation as to how and why her character was operating a station on a remote Philippine island. Jaymee Ong and Amelia Jackson-Gray delivered the best performances after Michael Gleissner. I also enjoyed the performance of the actor playing the main Philippine officer.

I think this is a great rental movie.
