In a room with no windows on the eastern coast of Africa, a Scotsman, James More, is held captive by jihadist fighters. Thousands of miles away in the Greenland Sea, Danielle Flinders prepares to dive in a submersible to the ocean floor. In their confines they are drawn back to the Christmas of the previous year, where a chance encounter on a beach in France led to an intense and enduring romance. Submergence is another love story with no emotion or substence but also a terrible chemistry between it's 2 leads and slow pacing that drags and doesn't help the film overcome it's flaws. (0/10)
