I don't know enough about deep-sea diving to comment on the veracity of the portrayal . A lot of it was difficult to believe. As a whole the story was well acted , especially Danny Huston.

Honestly it's a good film , is it blockbuster no but definitely underrated and definitely one of the better movies on Netflix , if you've watched all the best movies on Netflix and can't find nothing worth you're while this is a good film to give a try

I thought the movie was better then some of the reviews on IMDb make you think. Okay it might be boring for someone who expect to see a lot of action and a lot of different locations but the story is about men trapped in a small pod underneath the ocean so you can't expect anymore then that. To me it's all about the suspense that you get by watching their desperation and the way they try to find a solution to get them out of this very bad situation. And the least you can say is that they acted well. I could feel the claustrophobia, the anguish and despair. There's absolutely no way I would ever put a foot in one of those pods. So to me it was a better movie then I expected. It might not be the greatest in this genre but it certainly did the job to keep me entertained on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

In the Somalia coast, the veteran divers Engel (Danny Huston), Mitchell (Matthew Goode), Hurst (Jones Alan McKenna) and the rookie Jones (Joe Cole) are assigned to repair an oil pipeline on the bottom of the sea by the Vaxxilon representative Karsen (Ian Pirie). They are advised that a storm is coming, but the Diving Support Vessel Lorimer lowers the bell with the team. They succeed to weld the pipeline but the storm comes and the vessel sinks, killing the whole crew. Short of the oxygen, the divers try to communicate with the surface and the leader Mitchell keeps the hope that they will be saved. But will the oil company send another vessel to rescue them?"Pressure" is one of the most anguishing and realistic drama about the deep water divers ever made and economical interest of oil companies. The performances are top-notch and the realism of the scenes is impressive. The director Ron Scalpello makes an excellent film that keeps the tension along 91 mm running time. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "Sob Pressão" ("Under Pressure")
