Spoiler-Free Review of "The Dive" on Demand: Solid Survival Thriller

*This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!*

"I still get a bit nervous every time..."

The Dive released on Demand on August 25th 2023. The survival thriller film stars Sophie Lowe and Louisa Krause. It runs for an hour and thirty-two minutes.

Two sisters go deep-sea diving in a remote location when a landslide sends rocks into the ocean, trapping one of them beneath the surface, as the other must figure out a way to save her before their air runs out.

Here is the trailer:

The Dive channels 47 Meters Down and Fall, giving us another extreme example of two women facing off against unlikely odds. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let's find out...

The Pros:

Intense moments that will have you holding your breath!

I was on the edge of my seat for this one and there were plenty of moments that captivated my undivided attention. Similar to other well-done survival thrillers, this film never let the audience off the hook. While some of it may have been far-fetched, it definitely kept my adrenaline pumping and met my expectations in this department.

Characters to cheer for.

I liked that they were sisters, which made me root for them that much more. There were so many possible moments of "giving up" and these two kept fighting. Their bond was apparent...even though I didn't get too many details about their characters. That being said, both actresses put a lot into their performances and these dire circumstances made me care enough about what happened to them.

The Cons:

The bite-sized flashbacks didn't add much to the story...

They didn't successfully add in any real details or layers to these characters and they were kind of confusing. I got that there was some kind of trauma involved in their past, but not enough of this was explained and it honestly wasn't needed in the movie.

So am I in or out?

I'm in!

A stimulating watch that held my attention from beginning to end with a satisfying conclusion.

This wasn't as good as Fall, but I love these types of movies and this one had plenty going for it. If you enjoy survival thrillers, you'll feel right at home during your watch.

DON'T TAKE THE JOB...

It was only supposed to be temporary…but when Olivia Crewe accepts a new position that seems too good to be true, she soon discovers that twelve other girls previously had the same job as her. Only none of them lasted for more than thirty days. No notice. Nothing…right before they mysteriously disappeared without a trace.

My supernatural thriller Girl Number Thirteen is out now! I hope you enjoy!
