Directed by documentarian Kevin MacDonald – no, not that Kevin MacDonald – Black Sea is a taut, gritty undersea suspense feature, a fine addition to the venerable submarine subgenre that manages to be original while also echoing The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) in its story of treachery motivated by lust for gold. Jude Law, never one of this writer’s favorite actors, turns in a surprisingly masculine turn as an unemployed submariner who signs on with a ragtag, half-British, half-Russian team of dead-enders to swipe a sunken cache of Nazi gold and spite his previous employers by beating them to the punch. Black Sea also packs a major plot twist that ratchets the tension nicely. Definitely recommended.
4.5 out of 5 stars. Ideological Content Analysis indicates that Black Sea is:
4. Anti-tobacco. Peters (David Threlfall) has emphysema, reminding audiences of the dangers of smoking.
3. Anti-fascist. The backstory on the treasure is that Hitler, with Nazi Germany’s economy on the verge of collapse in 1941, extorted an exorbitant “loan” from Stalin’s “neutral” U.S.S.R. with a threat of invasion if the demanded sum was not received. The implication would seem to be that, while the communists enjoyed an ebullient economy, Hitler’s Third Reich was an inefficient basket case that could generate prosperity only through intimidation and violence. Nazis in a sunken sub are also revealed to have engaged in cannibalism.
2. Anti-corporate, anti-bankster. Financial elites inspire loathing and corporate players cannot be trusted.
1. Egalitarian. Robinson (Jude Law) dictates that every man in the crew is to receive an equal share of the booty regardless of his specific responsibilities or national origin. The submarine therefore functions as a microcosm of an experimental socialist society – one that sinks or floats on the strength of collective cooperation. Fraser (Ben Mendelsohn, reunited with Killing Them Softly costar Scoot McNairy, who plays corporate weasel Daniels) is the unredeemable teabagger type in the group, who thinks his ethnic cohort deserves a bigger share of the loot and refuses to share with the Russians. It is Fraser, with his combination of individualistic greed and jingoism, who will more than once put the crew in serious peril. Robinson, through his climactic demonstration of heroism, proves to be motivated more by a sense of justice and vengeance against a hostile elite than by greed or personal pettiness.

I don’t know why you gave this judaized garbage such a high score. It sounds perfectly dreadful!
It works as a suspense picture, and the Nazi stuff is barely mentioned. It’s mostly just a bunch of angry guys in a rickety submarine.
You know they subtly lay that anti-White shit in the back ground to paper your subconscious with demoralizing propaganda so maybe a little less enthusiasm about this jew effort may be prudent.
Seriously though, wouldn’t it suck being in a hot, sweaty little submarine especially with people you didn’t like? How claustrophobically unpleasant!
The anti-white stuff is a given, though. It’s in nearly every movie, so I’m just judging this by that standard, i.e., how it stacks up against other movies like it. Also, imagine how much worse it could have been. It could have been a whole submarine full of wisecracking Jews on a mission to fetch the Nazi gold which had been stolen from them so they could fund an Israeli rescue mission to save babies kidnapped by Arab terrorists or something.
Well, as you doubtlessly know I prefer to entirely avoid jew media. I get dragged against my will to one or two movies a month and I may watch stuff from the 80’s on youtube but that’s it. I believe I think a lot clearer without a bunch of smart ass kikes running around in my brain all the time.
At least back 30+ years ago there were some things you could watch that were politically neutral, but now everything they put out is weaponized propaganda.
It really pisses me off. Young people these days have their heads so far up their own asses I have trouble believing it. I read the comments under a 1950’s educational reel which gave advice to teens about how to fit in and get along with people. It was all stuff I thought was common sense. All these millennial punks were going on about what a hell on earth life must have been back then and how fascistic the advice was. Apparently nowadays we are so judaized that the concept of getting along with other people is oppressive, outdated and “too White”.
