RAVE - Black Sea

Jude Law plays another rough, tough type. Perhaps not as rough, or tough as his previous incarnation as Dom the recent ex-prisoner, but certainly rougher and tougher than most of his earlier roles.

In Dead Sea, he's laid off from his job as a submarine engineer employed to salvage wrecks. He hears of a sunken WW2 German submarine that was carrying tens of millions of pounds-worth of Russian gold bound for Hitler's coffers. He therefore recruits a group of old and shifty British and Russian submarine experts, gets the financial backing of an equally shifty millionaire and heads for the Black Sea where he buys a war-time Russian sub and heads down into the deep.

This is a taught, atmospheric buried (sunken) treasure hunting thriller that boasts a plot with plenty of tension and just enough twists to keep us captivated for the duration.
