I like the genre, but
Fool's Gold was boring. All the searching for lost treasure at sea-angle is so much worse than than even
Into the Blue, and the romance-angle is killed by McConaughey's lack of credibility and acting ability. If I ever see another movie with him, I'm perfectly happy about it.
Dazed and Confused was one of his first roles, and he's never been close to deliver like that since. Kate Hudson is no Jessica Alba, to keep the comparison towards Into the Blue alive, but Hudson got charisma on her own. Sadly there's no sparks with her leading partner, and then this movie are coming close to running on fumes.
Sutherland's part is more a grandfather figure than anything else, and Dziena keeps delivering bimbo-parts with quite the conviction. Their father-daughter issues doesn't elevate the movie, but at least it helps cutting into McConaughey's time on the screen. At least that's positive.
