Salvage

About This Movie

So, "Salvage" from 2018 has this intriguing premise that really plays with the atmosphere of rural Florida, you know? An ex-cop diving into a sunken treasure mystery—it feels like a mix of desperation and the pull of the past. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it somehow adds to that feeling of being lost in the swamps. The performances, while not groundbreaking, have this raw quality that draws you in, especially the lead, who's grappling with old ghosts. The practical effects are decent, giving it an authentic touch. What stands out is the way the film captures that eerie, sun-drenched landscape, almost like a character in itself. It’s not your typical treasure hunt flick, which is kind of refreshing.
