    • Quotes

      Captain Robinson: What are you looking for?

      Tobin: The windows.

      Captain Robinson: The what?

      Tobin: Well, the lads said I should give the windows a clean before we head out, but I can't find any.

      Captain Robinson: It's a submarine. There are no windows. What's the broom for?

      Tobin: There's no chimney, is there?

    6/10

    Good U-Boat thriller

    Three reasons to watch Black Sea:

    1) if you are interested in U-Boats this works for you 100%.

    2) if you are a Jude Law fan then you will see one of his best performances so far. In fact he played the role as a hungry captain brilliantly and credibly.

    It could have been honored even for an Oscar worthy role.

    3) it offers entertaining value mixed with drama, adventure and submarine details.

    I liked this movie cause it's damn dramatic with a touch of adventure.

    The running time is okay and the special effects in the submarine are well done. The director Kevin Macdonald made a good a job with this story based on true events.

    It merits a solid 6.5/10 that matches nearly the rating of 6.4 of IMDb.

    If you like U-Boat movies don't miss K-19 with Harrison Ford, Killer Hunter with Gerard Butler or Red October with Sean Connery.
