Diagonaldi Very well executed

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Steineded How sad is this?

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

mihaelstojanovic 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.

senseii1 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?

lemon_magic All right, this isn't "Das Boot" or "Red October", or even "Crimson Tide", but it's pretty darned good and well worth seeing if you are a fan of the "Submarine Suspense" movie. No longer a pretty boy (or at least no longer doing "pretty boy" roles), Jude Law is very impressive in this. At some point, he developed an amazing dynamic range and he is uses it here to good effect. In fact, there isn't a "flat tire" in the cast. Although I have to admit that the characters the actors played were somewhat predictable, once the movie established them. (It was obvious after the first 5 minutes in the sub who the weak link was and who the traitor would be).The story hits all the beats you expect in sub movies, and gives everyone in the cast room to shine. The special effects work well in the context of the movie, and the director keeps things moving as briskly as you can hope for. My only real complaint was the downbeat ending seemed unnecessary (if more believable - but if you are looking for "believable", why are you watching a submarine movie?) Your life won't be incomplete if you miss "Black Sea", but it's a fine piece of work and worth seeing.

SnoopyStyle Robinson (Jude Law) has been a submariner for 30 years. He's obsolete and gets fired after 11 years with the company. He is recruited for an outlandish treasure hunt. Back in 1941, Stalin acquiesce to Hitler and sends tons of gold to Germany. The U-boat transporting the gold sunk to the bottom of the Black Sea. An investor has a plan to recover the gold while the Russians are fighting Georgia on the surface. His representative Daniels (Scoot McNairy) joins him along with diver Fraser (Ben Mendelsohn) and youngster Tobin. The crew calls Tobin a virgin and therefore bad luck. Robinson insists on equal shares for everyone and Fraser riles up the crew arguing against the Russians getting the same share.Director Kevin Macdonald does well to infuse the movie with tension. Jude Law is good and Ben Mendelsohn is great. The main thing holding this back is the plot. There is a few too many exact coincidences. For example, they need exactly nine people to drive the boat but eight people would mean they can only surface. It's way too exact and leads to obvious conflict. I understand the need to raise the danger level but the plot takes a few too many twists and 15 minutes too long.
