Silk’s fluid camerawork glides through the water in such a way that we’re constantly on edge thinking a shark is just about to emerge from the depths, though Roberts relies on jump scares less than you might expect.
IS IN THE DEEP MOVIE JUST 47 METERS DOWN FULL
Moore and Holt might as well be floating in space for how dark and full of terrors their aquatic environs are, and 150 feet has rarely felt like such an insurmountable distance. Thanks to the lensing of cinematographer Mark Silk, those scenes are at least compelling in their abyssal murkiness. Such declarations are quite literally wastes of breath, and “47 Meters Down” might have been much improved by excising the dialogue from the underwater sequences. Blake Lively acquitted herself quite well in “The Shallows,” which emerged as the most pleasantly surprising film of last summer Moore, for her part, is sunk by straight-to-video dialogue: “The shark almost got me!” she yells after the shark almost gets her “I’m almost out of air,” she says as she runs out of air.
There are safer ways to self-actualize than surviving a shark attack, of course, but movie heroines insist on learning the hard way. With limited air and no safe means of surfacing - to swim straight up would both draw the attention of several Great Whites and risk decompression sickness, AKA the bends - Lisa and Kate are forced to get creative as their survival instincts take over.
It turns out that entrusting your safety to a rickety boat captained by Matthew Modine doesn’t actually epitomize the “safety first” ethos, and so the two siblings quickly find themselves on the seafloor after the shark cage comes untethered.
