WHAT’ S IT ABOUT?

After being laid off from a salvage company, rogue submarine captain Robinson (Law) learns of a sunken Nazi U-boat in the depths of the Black Sea that contains their weight in gold. He, along with a misfit team of sailors, ventures deep into the ocean to obtain it, but it’s not long before the greed and desperation of the men force them to fight for their own survival…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

This thrilling and tense underwater adventure from director Kevin Macdonald is anchored (ba-doom ching!) by a strong leading performance from a Scottish accent trying to pull off a Jude Law (wow, we’re on a roll with this one!).
