This is my review of Underwater, an action thriller movie from 2020. It's about the survivors of an undersea drill explosion trying to get to the surface, while something tries to hunt them down. The film looks nice, the actors are mostly good, and there are a couple of interesting scenes. The overall story is okay, the Underwater film is an enjoyable thriller.
