Awful, name grab for fans of these two. They look have asleep and dazed through out the entire movie.

'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.

A very low cheap budget movie, group of Senior citizens attempt to do an Jacky Chan 80's movie, but fail, no director, no actor, terrible producers, no FX, no dialogue, no story, no history, nothing a clear and very clean movie almost u can see is fake everything, just two words for the dudes IS OVER, no more please, so pathetic see a JC try to act like a secret agent, how? there are government employees at their 80 years old working for the agency?....Agree with everybody the only good thing of this is the JCVD hair dye !!!! i want that for me )))....sorry guys..go home stay calm play with their grand children...walk in the park...thanks

Jean-Claude Van Damme is imprisoned on a Hollywood submarine with the proverbial file wanted by his boss gone rogue. Dolph Lundgren is also imprisoned there in a role slightly more than what he had in "Altitude" a film just as bad. This is a submarine that is a lot bigger on the inside than outside, aka 'Dave Made a Maze." Not a single bulkhead had a curve. They shot a lot of bullets into it. I am not sure what powered the submarine, but I don't think they had room for any kind of propulsion because it was filled with bad cliches and bad dialogue.Now when a sub "takes on water" the collision alarm is sounded (I'm not sure what that was in the film) and the sub does an emergency surface. It doesn't wait until the flooding is stopped. Less depth means less outside water pressure and less flooding. Physics 101.Our heroes battle the gang that doesn't shoot straight, even at close range with bullets never bouncing off a steel wall.Guide: F-word. Implied sex. Brief nudity. No splits.
