If the viewer have any experience or relationship to SatDiving, Underwater surveys or services, you might be drawn to this for subject matter but will be sorrily disappointed. This story premiss is based on SatDivers descending for oil pipe repair near Somali-African waters with approaching severe "storm". As example of why this is a must miss film, supposedly the bell is returning to surface during height of storm which is demonstrated by intermittent black screen, flickering lights and actors jostling themselves. Good films must start with good writing, good direction, production and acting. I could list a plethora of problems but whats the point? I hope the future projects for all involved are better stories, better written and better executed. Ive been trying to imagine who might actually appreciate this effort. If anyone does watch this, I hope they know there isnt a shred of realism, artistry.Two stars for effort, it takes crew and cast turning up and working to finalize a project successful or not.

In the Indian Ocean, a diving bell with a crew opts to make repairs with a storm coming. S@#t happens and it becomes a fight for life among a crew that doesn't always get along. The acting was Goode, but the storyline grew old. I can only take so much drama of people trapped in one place. This is a drama/thriller and not a horror. Not much more exciting than the cover art.

Thought this movie was great and worth watching. Enjoyed the diving aspect of it (as I am a ex-diver, but not that deep!) and it was pretty exciting. It's worth watching. This is a very general review, as I am currently distracted... The plot was good, could likely happen even in this day & age, and seemed fairly factual to me. The overseas environment rang true from my actual experience in Asia. The older guys used their experience to try to teach the younger guy, but it didn't often rub off and the younger one made up his own mind in most circumstances. Seemed to be typical behavior, even nowadays. Through it all, danger was present which needed educated and/or experienced decision-making, and even those didn't work, which sometimes in the end did not work out well, unfortunately. If you want to find out what happened, watch the movie! :)

This is an unknown film with not such good reviews from audiences and critics alike. But I watched it because I like locked room stories/mysteries, and the fact that it was set hundreds of feet under water, where the pressure is tremendous and oxygen only what you find in your deep sea diving suit and the submarine pod, made it a must watch for me. This is a locked room suspense, submarine movie. Unless the characters behave stupidly and start killing each other, I don't think anything can go wrong with such a story. And I was right. Right from the get go, this took me with the deep sea divers down under water, and kept me there. In a way I was stuck with them, trapped with them, and wanted to see what will happen next. The basic plot is four deep sea diver are sent in a small pod to fix an oil pipeline on the sea bed. It's a high risk job as a storm is brewing in the skies. Soon they find themselves trapped underwater and retreat into the small submarine/pod which has only so much oxygen for them. So as the characters are trapped they understand, the lesser the number of characters alive, the more the oxygen for them. So if the other trapped character was to die in an accident they would be able to live longer! But what happened next wasn't what I was expecting. It's certainly not about characters killing each other. Instead the second half of the movie is thrilling and emotional as we begin to root for the characters and want them to come out of this dire situation alive! It may not be a big blockbuster, it may not have A list actors, it may not be factually correct about deep sea diving, but it is certainly a good story, with an edge of the seat climax! Rarely does a film take you away from your comfortable chair, and comfortable life and transport you into a different, dangerous, unknown, unseen world. This is one of them. In spite of the flaws, this is a must watch for the setting, suspense and the story.

This review contains huge spoilers. Saw this movie in hope of a thrilling claustrophobic experience. But this was a disappointment. First of all the plot feels thin. Why is there a oil pipeline on the ocean floor outside Somalia? Why would a ship ever have thrown anchor in these pirate infested waters?Then the real crimes against the laws of nature begins. One of the divers has brought a bottle of shampoo in to the diving bell. A bell where there are no visible reasons to bring any hygiene products at all. When starting to descend another diver warns him about the risk of having it explode! because the increased pressure in the bell. That would of course only make the bottle less likely to leak. But the moment after the diver opens the lid and gets sprayed with shampoo. When finally ascending they argue about the risk of the bell not being capable of handling the shift in pressure. Most likely, the bell will be okay with a decreased pressure. Like this the movie goes on with total ignorance of what is realistic in a deep sea adventure. Just a waste of time in my opinion.

This movie is not terrible, it's empty. It is a low budget one, where not much happens and the little that happens is stretched into an hour and a half of length. It seems more a movie for television then for the cinema. You do not enter into the role of any character and there are no major twists and is also fairly predictable. With a little more development it would be more interesting. However, while not completely boring and while having a minimum of (uninteresting) suspense, I can not recommend it, unless you've just nothing else to see. The real nice thing to watch here is the movie poster. 5/10

This low budget British thriller does disaster on a small scale. It's a single location film in which four divers find themselves trapped on the ocean floor in a diving bell when the oil operation they're working on is hit by a storm, sinking the vessel above and leaving them stranded and with their oxygen running out. It's a great set-up and one that thrilled me with awe, but sadly the execution of this film is less than stellar and fails to get the right balance of sympathy and suspense. With the constant bad language none of the characters are very sympathetic and most get on your nerves after a while. The film's failure can be laid directly at the door of the writer, who fumbles the premise after a solid first half an hour. Certainly the experienced cast members, including Danny Huston and Matthew Goode, can't be faulted, although the dullest character (played by Joe Cole) unfortunately gets the lion's share of the screen time. PRESSURE is thrilling at first but as it moves towards the end, the tension should really be mounting but instead the story seems to slow down and devolves into various fantasies experienced by the main characters. I don't want to watch any of this mindless filler, I want to see the protagonists fighting back against impending death, and only Huston seems to do this. In the end, it's a missed opportunity.

As a retired commercial diver, this was hard to watch. While I don't expect them to get every detail right, they almost didn't get any details right. Its awful. I could list hundreds of things. First up on the descent, it takes hours and hours (about 4 from memory) to get to 660 feet, not an hour. His shampoo explodes because he does not take of the top during decent, and while you would do that, it would actually implode on the way down. Just saying. No such thing as a big bell and certainly not with two rooms to it! Helium costs big money, so they make bells as small as the can. Never seen a 4 man bell myself, but even so, it would be as small as a 3 man bell. They did bother to do ''bell checks'' on which the survival suits are listed (which they find missing when they need them) . Sever the umbilical to the ship, you lose hot water, which they try to reflect in the diving with the divers being very cold, but forget to tell the viewer why the divers are cold. Lose hot water, and you have no heater, as that is how they work! They use the sound powered phone for most things, when you have direct comms to the bell over the speaker/microphone and no bell I have ever been in, could possibly have comms to reach a ship. In fact it is one of our biggest problems. You come up with perfect comms from diver to topside, bell to topside, bell to diver and diver to diver and you would be an over night multi millionaire. So far I have not really had to much in the way of a spoiler, but I am about to now , so if that is a problem, read no further....... *spoiler alert* When they try to float the bell, there is a step by step you must take and one of those steps is to use the umbilical cutter. Its a manual hydraulic cutter operated from inside the bell. If you don't cut that, you likely wont get far. So these people didn't bother, get caught up and have to basically free swim the rest of the way. So from memory they go from 660 feet to 250 feet or less them open the door (you need to equalize pressure first) them out and up. Arh, NO! You would never make the surface alive and I do not know how you would even be dropping that pressure to 250 feet. I mean that is going to hurt bad and kill you also, but might take some time. But either way, you are not going to be alive when you hit the surface. Very lazy film making, very lazy indeed

If you have an average intelligence, you will notice all the typical plot lines, written according to a very strict template. You know immediately that there will be an accident. You know who will be involved. You know WHEN it will happen. You know that, of the group of people in the involved, only ONE will survive. You also know WHO that person will be. If you are a person with average intelligence, you will simply fast- forward to check your assumptions, and find all to be correct. This movie doesn't take more than 10 minutes to "enjoy". Acting and directing was good, but the awesome predictability of the plot is an insult.
