Black Sea (2015)

Nice effects though.

Memorable, crazy movie

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

I'm an avid submarine fan and love these kind of movies, but though also a fan of some of the actors, this is a movie to avoid at all costs. I was baffled to see a 6.4 average for this on IMDb. It contains so many plot holes, not just for a person familiar with the operation of underwater vessels and diving (just 1 example: how about sonar pings from a 50's sub making no sounds?), but will most likely be unbearable to anyone because of this. Whole segments are just as if they were left out, and the whole concept was down right stupid on top of that, and the reasoning among the characters is amazingly weird, and not in a good way. I will not go into any more details, not to spoil it for those still wanting to waste almost 2 hours of a Saturday night as I did, but heed my advice - avoid it.

Drama is very unreal but it contains lots of action and action fans will like it. It's very unreal they haven't taken anything against the killer and because of the character who killed a man, the accident happened and killed many others. In real life they would have taken something. They have sunken two times, at the first time the submarine was lightly damaged, the second time at least it was damaged as many would expect. Good point is movie shows greed and the Russian mentality as they are superstitious, they are stemming the crew as they believe the virgin man brings the bad luck. Maybe that could've been proved as true on end of the film as many of the crew stood bellow with the fishes. When they finally find the gold, they want to take all 4.5 tons of it at once and it turned dangerously, some of them want to ditch the gold and they want to emerge empty handed. I was what?! No one ditch out the gold so easily but they had a reason so they mitigate that unrealistic part. Most characters are greedy but not the captain so that's the good point when you take greedy persons and put them in the not so big space dozens of meters bellow the water. It has a message but things could've been done much better, better to say more realistic but it's more than a good movie though.

I am a Technical Deep Diving Instructor. This movie is a dismal attempt to recreate a deep sea diving instance with horrible script and a screen play. People involved did not consult experts who could have saved their asses in this plot.Very bad acting and major holes in the plot.Come on guys, at least get your act to gather.Very bad story line. Not well thought of!You need to do better than this.You guys are challenging the intelligence of your audience.Come up with a decent story and people would watch it.There is a reason why your movie only made Worldwide:$1,171,559 (http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=blacksea.htm).How much did you guys spend making this piece of garbage?

Robinson has worked as a submarine captain for a salvage firm for many years then he is suddenly made redundant with only a pitiful pay-off, then an old friend who used to work for the firm tells him how they discovered a U-boat in Georgian waters in the Black Sea which they believe contains a fortune in Nazi gold. He goes onto say that the company couldn't salvage the gold as the border has moved leaving the gold in Russian waters. He has a backer who will finance the salvage operation for a forty percent cut. Robinson is keen to get one over on his former employers so agrees to lead the mission. He takes on a mixed crew; half British salvage experts and half Russian submariners; they need the Russians as they will be using an old Russian submarine. Once they have left Sebastopol tensions soon start to rise; the Russians think a young British crewman is bad luck and the British half of the crew aren't pleased when they hear that the Russians will be getting an equal share. It isn't long before things get even worse; violence flares, accidents happen and after they recover the gold they learn that they have been played… if they are to keep any of it they will have to take a lot more risks.The combination of the claustrophobic setting and the allure of Nazi gold make for a thrilling story. From the moment they set sail to the end of the film tension is high. The characters aren't the most likable; one of them is clearly psychotic and the rest of them are driven by greed but that doesn't stop them being interesting. Inevitably as various events occur some of the crew are lost which just serves to raise the tension further as the number dips towards the absolute minimum required to operate the submarine. The cast, led by Jude Law does a good job. It helped that the Russian characters were played by Russian actors speaking in subtitled Russian rather than Western actors talking English with a dodgy accent. Talking of accents Jude Law's character speaks with a Scottish accent; it sounded pretty good to me but actual Scottish viewers may not be as easily pleased! Overall I recommend this to anybody looking for a good tense thriller.
