| Jude Law fondles his gold in Black Sea |
Kevin Macdonald's Black Sea is a routine, yet fairly engrossing genre picture. Jude Law plays a submarine captain who leads a motley crew of British and Russian mercenaries trying to pilfer gold from a sunken Nazi U-boat. This is a predictable portrait of disparate men under stress, but the film boasts logical and economic construction and fine performances. The theme of class resentments seems tacked on, but the conflicts between the crew are solidly enacted by Law, Karl Davies, David Threlfall and the dependable Ben Mendelsohn. Overall, a somewhat anonymous, yet solid B picture with a surprising ending.
