	Author	Review
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"Wtih a sturdy ensemble led by Jude Law as a submarine captain of formidable sangfroid, the film nonetheless never quite sparks to life"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Robey Telegraph	"It’s hard to decide if Black Sea is a good idea put over with sub-par execution, or an iffy idea handled as well as possible in the circumstances (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Rex Reed The New York Observer	"Basically another tough genre workout that is all too familiar, with enough tension and violence to keep an audience alert if not riveted (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Joe Morgenstern The Wall Street Journal	"A briny version of 'Ocean’s Twelve' with a psychological depth charge derived from 'The Treasure of the Sierra Madre'"	POS
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times	"A fittingly immersive thriller"	POS
