'The Deep' (1977) – Peter Yates.

A mesmerizing underwater sequence introduces our sub-aqua, thrill-seeking lovers, David (Nick Nolte) and the sleekly sinuous, Gail (Jacqueline Bisset) enjoying Bermuda's dazzling underwater vistas. Their barnacled booty fatefully includes an ampoule of morphine and a thickly encrusted silver amulet of unknown provenance. With an agreeable alacrity our likeable protagonists are plunged into increasingly stormy waters. The menacing, Morphine coveting Haitian drug lord, Henri Cloche (Lou Gossett) sinisterly makes for one of the more magnetic screen villains. David & Gail's deadly travails include a monstrously oversized Moray Eel, macabre Voodoo hexes, Cloche's muscle-bound henchmen, and the multifarious terrors lurking silently below the sea's surface. 

Belatedly restored on HD, 'The Deep' excitingly offers the discerning cult movie fan a stylish squall of tempestuous, exotically picturesque excitement. The exemplary cast provides additional buoyancy to maestro, Peter Yates exhilarating, beautifully shot oceanic treasure hunt. While notorious scene stealer, Robert Shaw's charismatic Sea Dog, Romer Treece is a salty delight, the main attraction of The Deep is the spectacularly beauteous, dynamically captured underwater action. Factor in another immersive score by, John Barry and the viewer is pleasurably submerged into one of the more visually arresting action-thrillers of the 70s. The exquisitely erotic vision of Jacqueline Bisset in a snugly wet T-shirt reveals a priceless treasure chest of iconic pulchritude!
