BLACK WATER GOLD is a cheap undersea exploration movie which reminded me a little of the Burt Reynolds vehicle SHARK!. It's grainy and unspectacular, making use of realistic locations but managing to waste a number of intriguing cast members in a plot which is anything but special. The protagonists have to loot a sunken galleon before their better-prepared rivals have a chance to do so, but there are no likeable characters here, just men trying to make it rich. Still, the remarkable cast includes no less than Bradford Dillman, Ricardo Montalban, Keir Dullea and Lana Wood among its numbers, which counts for something.
