Director: Alex Parkinson
Actors: Woody Harrelson, Simu Liu, Finn Cole
PlotA seasoned commercial diver, struggling with a haunting past, accepts a high-stakes salvage mission in the treacherous depths of the North Sea. Joining an international team of underwater engineers, he boards a state-of-the-art dive support vessel alongside an ambitious rookie and a renowned robotics expert. Their task is to recover a lost prototype from a sunken submarine, a device vital to global energy supplies. As they descend thousands of feet below the raging surface, underlying tensions among the crew begin to surface, fueled by pressure, exhaustion, and personal rivalries. The operation, meticulously planned on the surface, quickly unravels as unpredictable currents, malfunctioning equipment, and limited oxygen supplies bring the divers to the edge.
When a catastrophic equipment failure strikes, one diver becomes trapped on the seabed with dangerously little air remaining. The remaining team, each battling their own fears and secrets, must race against time, engineering limitations, and their own fractured loyalties to attempt an unprecedented deep-sea rescue. Friendships are tested and difficult decisions must be made as the life-threatening challenge transforms into a gripping fight for survival. As darkness and isolation close in below and tension mounts above, the crew’s united purpose is threatened by desperation and doubt. The fate of both the stranded diver and the entire team hangs in precarious balance, with every second slipping away deep beneath the waves.

Blu-ray Review
Score: 70
A technically impressive Blu-ray with immersive visuals, strong Dolby TrueHD 5.1 audio, and dedicated realism, though the narrative feels cold.
