The Deep
1977
***
Director: Peter Yates
Cast: Nick Nolte, Jacqueline Bisset, Robert Shaw, Louis Gossett, Eli Wallach

A diving couple find a shipwreck and get more than they bargained for. The story (Based on Peter Benchley's novel) is captivating and the film looks great, but it's dramatically flat. Well, at least you have Jacqueline Bisset in a bikini, continuously.
