Black Water (2018)

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Awful, name grab for fans of these two. They look have asleep and dazed through out the entire movie.

Dolph Lundgren & a very old version of Van Damme, what did you expect. A "B" movie with a bunch of guys who thought they always made A- movies in their youth. The plot is predictable, Van Damme puts them down, but he has to hit them hard and twice to get it done this time, it's not like in his youth, when people fell down before he hit them. The actor who plays the FBI agent, plays it very well, like a professional, but he dies early in the movie. Al Spinoza, plays good (I saw him in Ascension) as always, in the bad guy role and that pretty sum all of it. I gave it a 4 , for encouragement.

REVIEW - BLACK WATER 2 of the most famous action / martial arts stars team up for this, what promises to be an all action 90+ minutes of fights. But........The film credits for the 2 stars in this film are impressive beyond belief, with every film from Rocky to Timecop being a fight and action master class, unfortunately this film doesn't even come close to any of the previous films made by Van Damned or Lungdren.In fact the action doesn't even really start until an hour into the film. Most disappointing of all was the poor screen time Lungdren had, only really coming into the mildly interesting story very late into the film itself. Without trying to give too much away, correct me if I and wrong, but a submarine is basically a long tin can which goes underwear and usually comprises of one central long corridor with rooms to the bow, stern, port and starboard.The sheer amount of gun fire being exchanged! Enough said. Mildly interesting story, poor action, shoddy submarine and honestly not their best by far. Rating 4 out of 10

Jean-Claude Van Damme is imprisoned on a Hollywood submarine with the proverbial file wanted by his boss gone rogue. Dolph Lundgren is also imprisoned there in a role slightly more than what he had in "Altitude" a film just as bad. This is a submarine that is a lot bigger on the inside than outside, aka 'Dave Made a Maze." Not a single bulkhead had a curve. They shot a lot of bullets into it. I am not sure what powered the submarine, but I don't think they had room for any kind of propulsion because it was filled with bad cliches and bad dialogue.Now when a sub "takes on water" the collision alarm is sounded (I'm not sure what that was in the film) and the sub does an emergency surface. It doesn't wait until the flooding is stopped. Less depth means less outside water pressure and less flooding. Physics 101.Our heroes battle the gang that doesn't shoot straight, even at close range with bullets never bouncing off a steel wall.Guide: F-word. Implied sex. Brief nudity. No splits.
