Who is taking this seriously? I mean, as a movie? Who can actually sit and watch this, and be entertained or excited by it. The main guy's Scottish accent is laughably bad. At first he sounded Russian, then he just sounded like a bad actor trying to do a Scottish accent. The first few scenes are a jumbled mess. This needs to be called out as a very poor movie. I'm sorry. One of the positives is the way it looked. I liked the filming. But wait...seriously? How many times does he have to say "Aye"......it doesn't matter, because he doesn't sound like a Scottish man. The first few scenes are smashed together. The plot opens within about 3 minutes. It's just too quick. Guy gets fired from submarine job. Then somehow his other submarine guy knows about a sunken Russian submarine that has gold bars in it? Lol....no.

If you enjoyed movies like U571, The Hunt for Red October & Crimson tide, then this movie is for you. In my personal opinion, it's not quite as good as the aforementioned titles, but it's certainly in the same league. Black Sea has most of the right ingredients for a tense underwater thriller. It ticks pretty much every box in the genre from extremely intense survival scenes to flawed human characters. There are several thoroughly enjoyable claustrophobic scenes, which are only intensified by the clearly terrified crew. There were only two weak points. They should've spent some time developing the characters a little more and perhaps making them a bit more likable so that you would care about their fates. The other minor point is the character's accents. Being British I was able to follow the various accents well enough, but I imagine it may be a little difficult to follow for viewers that aren't used to the inflections. Black Sea is a solid and professional production and a must-see for anyone that enjoys movies with this sort of theme.

Some characters were so tough-looking that while watching you feel some of the people in the submarine will die. Jude Law acted his role so perfectly that he was a very authoritarian leader & guided the team with his belief in them that they would finally succeed their aim of taking the gold to the surface of the sea. What Daniels confessed after they brought all the gold inside was shocking for Jude Law as well as the audience. Fraser was right for the first time when he suggested killing Daniels but they thought they needed him to take the submarine to the surface. Robinson (Jude Law)'s only mistake was not letting them kill Daniels. The last part was very touching when Daniels sacrificed himself to save the two people and to send all the gold to the surface some part of which to be sent to his family he will never see again.

An ocean's worth of clichéd characters inhabit the rusty old submarine (and script) skippered by an obscurely Scottish Jude Law in search of well yes, in search of that old faithful of such nautical adventures – a cache of Nazi gold bullion nestling in the rusty hull of a sunken German U-boat. Or, rather, maybe it was Russian gold? Whatever; it's sitting there at the bottom of the Black Sea just waiting to be plundered. Writer Dennis Kelly has surely populated his story with every stereotypical, sweaty, unshaven macho alpha-male he's ever chanced upon in similar though far loftier stories of this genre. The film is shot mainly in shades of grey and black with the odd splash of red lighting to emphasis trouble is brewing way down beneath the waves, and forewarning the audience of a further onslaught of "effing and blinding" about to be unleashed on their eardrums. And as for those Russian accents.. 'The Man from UNCLE' conjured up more linguistic realism back in 1968. Admittedly, the claustrophobic atmosphere aboard the sub is enthusiastically portrayed and some of the set explosive interludes are well orchestrated; but honestly, one feels no responsiveness towards any of the characters and I really couldn't have cared less as to who lived or died. Surely not what the author or director should have intended? If a viewer can't identify or empathise with at least one character in a film; then the whole point of that movie's existence needs to be questioned. Some of the continuity was bizarre to say the least. At one point, in a fit of wrath following a member of his motley crew discovering he'd won the lottery (don't ask; it's a scene that is about as believable as The Tooth Fairy), our pseudo-Scottish Captain smashes the only receiver aboard the vessel with a wrench, only to be seen attempting to use the same said radio equipment an hour further into the movie, with ne'er a mark or dint to be spied on its pristine surface. By the time the film's spiralling implausible narrative has successfully disposed of most of the unlikeable crew, and a sudden potential way of escaping the quickly-sinking script is 'discovered'- one that is set to trigger off yet further disquiet and fisticuffs amongst the survivors - I'd given up the will to continue and vacated the cinema ten-minutes before the (presumably) quite daft conclusion. Who survived, if any, I couldn't tell you, nor alas do I care. And as for that Russian-*-Nazi gold.............. Jude Law – must try harder! Please note.

Ignore of some the bad reviews, just saw this for the first time and really enjoyed it. Too many people looking for perfection in a movie, no it is not fast paced action but does you keep you into the story. Stop looking for perfect and just enjoy!

Robinson (Jude Law) is laid off from his salvage company, but learns about a German sub deep in the Black Sea that is loaded with gold from WWII. Robinson gets the funding, an old Russian sub and a crew of 12 consisting of Russians and English to go after the gold. All of the above sounds really good, but here's the thing: the crew members don't like or trust each other and tensions rise. Here is what I didn't understand: most were out of work and readily available to search for the gold. Yet, they acted like this was business as usual and would have liked it if some members were killed off and that would mean more money for them. Did someone say "greed." Robinson did say that all members would receive an equal share and this message was good and understood, by all, for about 20-seconds. The Russians spoke Russian and Robinson needed translations. Why not let the Russians speak English as we sometimes hear in movies? I mean if the translations were deceptive, then I could understand their speaking Russian, but there were no deceptions. See? One more thing: they hit something that breaks their drive shaft and they see the German sub and need to get that drive shaft to be able to move. Three go out with limited air supply in their tanks to retrieve the drive shaft and once inside the German sub, they discover the gold. Now here's the thing: a winch materializes out of nowhere to move the gold and the drive shaft. There is no talk of limited air supply and all work together to get the winch to move the gold and the drive shaft in the sea bed mud. Limited air supply indeed ! Then comes the big twist. I truly forgot there would be a twist. Hey, it happens. And it happened because I was so engaged in this tension-filled story, but there it was. Bummer. The acting and tension all around were so good I felt as though I was on that sub, too, and yes, I was looking over my shoulder every 10-seconds like everyone else in these cramped quarters. There are some holes in here, but this is still a good sub story. (7/10) Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Language: Yes.

Robinson, an ex-Navy former submarine captain, gets fired from his salvage company job, and given a pittance of a pay off. Divorced from his wife, estranged from his son, his luck is sinking faster than a stricken sub. On hearing of a potential stash of Nazi gold in a sunken U-boat off the Georgian coast, he assembles a team to steal the treasure and strike back against a system rigged against him and his blue-collar crew...... I was really looking forward to this movie. I love Macdonald, his films are so realistic, yet touching, and Law is a fine actor, even if he is channelling Phil Collins in this. But as soon as he took pity on the homeless lad, and got him a job on the submarine, despite his insistence on having only a solid crew on board, I knew it would narratively sink. Law is fine, and despite a couple of dodgy moments, his Aberdonian brogue is pretty good. The man carries the film. But the rest of the film is so mundane, and despite it being in such an enclosed space, the important element of claustrophobia that should heighten the tension, as evident in Das Boot, Crimson Tide, even U-571, just isn't there. So we just wait to see who will snap first, because any idiot would know that the less people there are, the more gold is there to share. Smiley is the best of the support, but even he's relegated to gushing monologues about the dangers of submarines and spends the majority of the film freaking out the already freaked out Mcnairy, who is basically this films Burke from Aliens. People start dying, people leave gasoline near engines, and come the end of the film, there's only enough suits for a few to survive. It feels suitably cold, but that element of claustrophobia is sorely missing. If this film were an album, it'd be 'No Life Jacket Required' Disappointing stuff.
