J.J. Apebrams' 'Abyssal Secrets' is a cinematic vessel that navigates the choppy waters of a genre not easily traversed. The film's R rating anchors it in a sea of mature themes, as it plots a course through the frothy waves of intrigue and the deep, treacherous trenches of human ambition. At the helm, Collie More, portrayed with a subtle guile by the lead, sails through the layered narrative with a command that is both convincing and enigmatic, thanks to a compelling performance. Frank Marlin delivers a masterclass in obscurity as the mystical mentor, although his full potential feels restrained by the trappings of the plot's enigma. Joel Kinnamon's supporting role stands as a beacon of craft, his character's sagacity shining through the foggy storyline. The film's tagline 'Beneath the waves, destiny awaits.' promises an odyssey of fate versus free will, and indeed, there are moments of brilliant storytelling submerged within the script. However, the thematic ambition at times overreaches, leading to an undercurrent of confusion that may leave viewers adrift. Nonetheless, Apebrams' vision is clear and the movie’s aesthetic captures the epoch's turmoil and the abyss's allure convincingly. 'Abyssal Secrets' is a deep dive into a narrative ocean that some may find immersive and others, regrettably, a touch too murky.
