Mermaid Down (2019)
3/10
Started strangely and quickly went downhill!

Not even five minutes into the movie the captain(?) says "Logic and practicality would dictate...". More or less immediately afterwards, all logic and practicality went out the proverbial window...! I counted eighteen characters in the list of characters from this movie here at IMDb. At least three of them (all the three male characters in the beginning of the movie) seemed to be psychopaths judging from their actions. Three out of eighteen is many, many, many times the normal ratio of psychopaths to normal people in the real world! Out of the remaining sixteen, at least one of the guards seemed to have an IQ far below what I would have said qualified as a minimum for a job like that. On top of characters largely consisting of psychopaths, the film consisted of several cringeworthy scenes because of the bad script and directing! The acting was not terribly bad, but still far from good enough to save the bad script and directing!!

As a guy, if found the main actress beautiful, and liked the (semi) nude scenes with her. But I STILL found the same scenes to be speculative and mostly unnecessary for the progression of the story in the movie!

So my advice to you is that if you are not REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEALY bored, do NOT watch this movie!
