After working for many years for the marine salvage company Agora, the submarine captain Robinson (Jude Law) is fired in a downsizing without pension plan or any reward. While drinking in a bar with his friends Blackie (Konstantin Khabenskiy) and Kurston (Daniel Ryan), who were also fired, the depressed Kurston discloses that he knows the location of a World War II U-Boat loaded with gold that sank in the coast of Georgia. Robinson and Blackie meet a man called Lewis (Tobias Menzies) that agrees to be the sponsor of a salvage expedition of the treasure; in return, he charges 40% of the gold and demands his friend Lewis (Tobias Menzies) goes with them. When Robinson seeks out Kurston, he learns from the young Tobin (Bobby Schofield) that his friend committed suicide. He decides to invite Tobin to replace Kursten in the half-British half-Russian crew he has team-up. Along their journey, there is constant friction between the men jeopardizing the operation. Will Robinson be capable to control the dangerous crew?
"Black Sea" is a tense and claustrophobic thriller with good story and great performances, highlighting Jude Law. Most of the scenes are breathtaking and the conclusion perfect to the plot. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Mar Negro" ("Black Sea")
