By Bob Bloom “Black Sea” is a treasure-hunting thriller that sinks beneath its own pretentions. We’ve seen this type of story before: Men go hunting for gold — in this case, millions hidden away beneath the Black Sea in a Nazi submarine — and everything goes wrong with the “perfect plan” to retrieve the hidden wealth. It's one of those movies that you analyze after the fact and realize how sloppy and cumbersome the plot really is.
