I must admit I went to watch this movie because of Jude Law. I am a fan of his and his superb acting and I was not expecting much from the overall plot. People being trapped in a submarine with gold dangling practically in front of them does not sound like anything too novel. I'd seen such movies before and I was pretty sure I knew what was gonna happen. But... wow. Just wow.
It turned out that I loved every minute of it and wished there was more at the end of the movie. The acting was excellent by every actor, the plot very well done. I loved the humor parts and the sad parts and even the ones that show you just how unhinged and cruel people can be. This one is definitely worth watching. I could not pick myself off the seat or tear my eyes away from the screen. It also managed to pleasantly surprise me quite a few times.
Another bonus points I can give is for the Russian parts. As someone who is fluent in Russian, I always feel like being stabbed with a dull knife when Americans or British try to speak Russian and only succeed in butchering it completely. This was not the case in this movie, fear not. I highly recommend watching this!
