Rating: 3/10 (17 January 2006)

I was intrigued by the cover of this DVD and rented the extra-long "director's cut". Someone on ebay said it had "mesmorizing" scenes under the sea. Well, the few sea scenes there were just weren't that great. I knew this wasn't an action movie and I certainly didn't want or need any sea monsters, sharks or underwater scuba-diver fights ala James Bond. What I thought might be a love story turned out to center around a clueless, self-centered, cold-hearted man of little intellectual depth or emotion, so I really couldn't get into the main character at all. Imagine him choosing to go play with a dolphin rather than maintain and nurture a loving relationship with a human female. (I have to say that the guy who plays Enzo is the real star of the show.) And hours later (as I had to see what ending our "hero" had destined for himself), well, I won't spoil it here but both my wife and I uttered out simultaneously..."Huh??? What a dud this movie was!" It figures this movie would be a big deal in France. This movie was about as exciting as watching a prerecorded conference for Insurance salesmen. Yawn>>>>save your time and money. If you like Luc Besson try The Messenger or La Femme Nikita-both GREAT films.
