Highly overrated

Rating: 5/10 (28 December 2019)

I needed a lot of coffee to stay awake through this long, slow paced movie by Luc Besson. What I took with me from this experience was the good performance by Jean-Marc Barr as a dive addict. But the character played by Jean Reno and the world championship in diving scenes where both totally unbelievable and silly. A huge contrast to the rest of the film's serious theme. The Big Blue is visually beutiful, but a highly overrated movie if you ask me.
