Black Sea is an emotional yet exciting Movie that you will definitely enjoy. This Movie has a very dark and claustrophobic feel to it, it is pretty depressing to watch the Crew Mates fight eachother while they are also trying to survive.

Black Sea provides us with a stunning performance by Jude Law and a brilliant script with punchy dialogues. Its a sleek thriller that is sometimes weighed down by long, boring takes that Macdonald could have improved. Give it a watch.

It’s very sad that a fine film like this one did not find an audience. Jude Law gives a strong and soulful performance, and is supported by an excellent cast.

Jude Law gives a strong and soulful performance, and is supported by an excellent cast. Yes, we have seen the inside of a submarine before in Das Boot and The Hunt for Red October (one of my favorite films). And the big company duping the little guy (Alien) is nothing new. However, this film was beautifully directed and you cared about the characters (and hated the weakness and greed of some of them too), and although it got fairly strong critical reviews, it’s a shame that more people did not discover this excellent film.… Expand

This is a wonderful work training film on how important it is to work as a team. Otherwise, when not working as teammates, this movie shows what can happen.

A sequel would be nice. I can see a note on the back of the picture and I am sure Tobin and the Russian chart guy whose name I cant spell will give a gold brick or two to his son.

I can see a note on the back of the picture and I am sure Tobin and the Russian chart guy whose name I cant spell will give a gold brick or two to his son. But why could be not have used the diving tanks, which had enough oxygen left to at least surface to escape? Even with the bends at least you can live. Robinson should have had Frazier and that SOB Daniels put out the bloody tubes when they left port. Frazier killed them from the start. Blackie I liked. Frazier sticks a knife in him? Why did they not then chain him and then Daniels when they learned of his devilish plan.? Even if Robinson had to go out in a diving suite to get the Gold. Peters would have lived and all would have been rich and happy. But no, they let a mental case in there? They admitted he was nuts before they left. Baba did his job and deserved better. So too Reynolds. Just look at the inside of this wreck and then look at the Red October. What a difference. Why not just name this boat the Pequad II… Expand

Featuring really good performances from Jude Law, Scoot McNairy, and Ben Mendelsohn, Black Sea is a well made thriller by Kevin Macdonald that manages to keep the tension high throughout. Though the little twist thrown in is questionable inFeaturing really good performances from Jude Law, Scoot McNairy, and Ben Mendelsohn, Black Sea is a well made thriller by Kevin Macdonald that manages to keep the tension high throughout. Though the little twist thrown in is questionable in its legitimacy, the film still manages to be intense and does a great job working in back story of its characters. Too often, thrillers ignore this, but this one does a great job developing its characters and giving them reasons to be on the submarine. So much so, in fact, that the audience really feels a connection to these characters and really feels for their families when things start to go poorly. In saying this, Black Sea is not a great movie and is not without its flaws, which again centers around plausibility and some of the characters' illogical decisions along the way that you would be hard pressed to explain the logic behind. In saying that, it it is a well made film that manages to suck every bit of excitement it can out of being in a submarine looking for gold for two hours.… Expand

Black Sea es un película increíblemene entretenida, que trabaja correctamente en forma de thriller y en lo que respecta a mí, contiene suspenso en grandes cantidades.

Lo que hace que la película sea más intensa es el pequeño espacio que hay en el interior del submarino (lugar en donde se desarrolla casi toda la película), y además un gran esfuerzo entre los actores elevan el nivel de tensión. Ya de por sí la sipnosis es interesante, pero ver esta película es una cruda y ruda reflexión de lo que pasa cuando la codicia de una persona se vuelve tan descontrolada, y claro, también mostrando lo que le pasa a las personas que están rodeadas de esas personas.… Expand

Suspenseful movie about a small group of people trying to get a payload of gold (and survive) in an ancient submarine. Even one untrustworthy member in such a team can cause major problems.
