Audience Member The story was unique. Smuggling drugs by means of swimming underwater. The scriptwriter made it too complicated though. Too much double-crossing and inconsistency of character behaviors made the movie weak and unrealistic. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie looks fucking great but anything under water in HD looks pretty awesome. Other than that this movie is pretty much a rip off of the American movie "Into the Blue". This version has a Romeo and Julia story thrown into the mix to spice things up a little bit. But the main task are smuggling drugs under water. Still, this is a great Korean movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member lotsa nice underwater scenes but the plot's a bit hard to follow. and some bits are a bit hard to swallow (the wrong way)... ugh. Maria Full of Grace, this certainly is not. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member a so-so movie with typical Korean slapstick sense of violence and sterotypical roles. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member life is a game but u need to know how to play.... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Dammit... Flixster took so long to add this movie to their database, I forgot what I thought about it. Hmm... Marine Boy is an intense Korean crime flick with a pretty decent love story and a likable protagonist. I would say it is an entertaining couple of hours that is well-directed.
