With The Last King of Scotland director Kevin MacDonald behind it, there was some hope that his deep sea film Black Sea would make a run on the festival circuit this season in anticipation of an awards run. That didn't happen, and it may be for the better that the film will make its debut next year because clearly the Run Silent, Run Deep-style film is clearly designed to be an action flick first rather than some sort of prestige picture.
Jude Law stars as a submarine captain who gathers up a ragtag crew and heads to the Black Sea in search of Hitler's gold. Of course, nothing goes the way it should and he faces a potential mutiny from his crew, whose loyalties are most definitely in question. You can sense a little bit of Das Boot and Treasure of the Sierrea Madre in this first trailer, a mix of claustrophobic hysteria and high adventure. This could be a lot of fun, but definitely not an awards grabber, hence the January 23rd 2015 release date.
