While not a classic or meaningful, I found myself enjoying director Peter Yates project, "The Deep". I'd put the level of entertainment and feel very close to a 70s James Bond movie. Without a doubt, Robert Shaw strikes again. He commands every scene he's in an helps lift the movie out of mediocrity with his presence, energy, and wit. Along for the ride is Actors Nolte, Bissett, and Gossett, who all are satisfactory or even adequate. Not being an experienced diver, I cannot critique the diving scenes properly, however, they were also enjoyable to watch. Lastly, the story was better than average with a shade of mystery. The action sequences were passable. Settings and 70s peek were fun. Recommended.
