Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

etzold-lk First of all when I start watching this movie I could imagine that this is not the next Academy Award winner.But so bad!? Everything is bad: Plot, actors, production design and dialogues (german dubbing)Sorry! Does anyone really believe that a submarine is as big as shown? Come on! I guess none of the production team was ever visiting a submarine. There is no much space. The walls look like concrete walls. I do not believe what I saw.I do not know how bad the english dialogues are? But the german dubbing is only on a C-Movie level. A very good example could be heard right at the beginning of the motion picture - the shoot-out at the Hotel. JCVD's girlfriend notices that the dongle is not in her jacket/trousers. In German she says something like: "I have forgotten the dongle in the hotel. Wait here, I will get it!" The camera shows now a thing - the dongle?!? - which lies on the parking area. She runs now over to this thing, grabs it and tries to run back to JCVD and is been shot.Now my questions: Why? What? I thought the dongle has been forgotten in the hotel? And if this thing is not the dongle, what is it? And how important is it? And where is this "important' thing for the rest of the film?But one positive thing is that JCVD and Lundgren has gotten their standard German voices.Sorry for some mistakes english is not my mothertongue!

Ian Awe... I love Van Damme and Lundgren but sometimes you've gotta wonder if they could pick more suitable movies. Yes, they are 'action hero' stars but they're both getting on a bit and Van Damme in particular seems a bit past this sort of thing.It's a 'by the numbers' movie with typical unrealistic shoot-outs and scenarios, lots of set pieces and a couple of little twists which you'll probably guess.Anyway, it's better than I thought it was going to be but it's still what it is. Watch it if you're Van Damme and Lundgren fans. Don't if you're not.

unbrokenmetal 'Black Water' really surprised me. It's easily one of the best entries in the filmography of its two stars in this decade. Comparisons to the old days are quite useless, because I wouldn' expect someone who is almost 60 to put his foot in other people's faces a lot - apparently some fans do, and that's the bunch with the low ratings. The movie does not feature any kicks, look elsewhere for that. Instead, 'Black Water' is an intense thriller with psychological tension (okay, and a lot of ammo used as well). Agents from different sides are locked in a submarine with their enemies, some may be double agents, most of them don't tell the truth, so the captain and many others have a hard time guessing who is on who's side - and then, in the extremely narrow space, chases and deadly shoot-outs take place. Jean-Claude Van Damme as Wheeler is the hero here, while Dolph Lundgren as Marco is a prisoner whom Wheeler releases although he doesn't know anything about him, believing "my enemies' enemy is my friend - probably" which is a good example of how the movie never lets his characters walk on safe ground. Small grudges like the embarassing love scene aside, a good movie that did not need a big budget due to its confined location (almost completely taking place inside the submarine) and a clever script.

ishaq-570-320876 This movie had some moment but did not succeed entirely in delivering What you want from these two...Storyline is a bit messy and that is mostly What drawed me away from the movie from time to timeLundgren has a good role but is not in the movie enough.Van damme looks like he is getting to old for that type of Roles.. i means please understand i like Van damme but maybe he should be getting roles like R.E.D with Willis Its not like i would stop Anybody to watch This i actually Think you should if you are a fan of these two. Its still great fun to see your childhood heroes onscreen...Mostly of the cast was trying to hard...
