I am a big van damme fan, I enjoy most of his b-movies. This one was not very good. Bad fighting, it was like van damme was fighting like an old man. Not much lundgren in the movie either, just a small side role. A forgettable C-movie, I just enjoy seeing JCVD in action because I am a fan. By the way, 2 years before the movie van damme did "Jean-Claude Van Johnson" series, that was JCVD in his best performance ever, watch that instead!

Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren underemployed in a boring Z movie action flick. Everything about this movie is bad!

Van Damme remains likable even looking beat up and half-way over the hill from the start; in his classic style he takes a beating but can't be stopped. Wonder how long he thinks he can play opposite these young tasty chicks. There's no real "acting" per se as all the characters are pretty much hyper-idiotic; Dolph's part is relatively small but adds a fun element and another half way over-the-hill anti-hero. Entertains mostly as a spoof/parody.

What drew me into seeing 'Black Water' in the first place? The reasonably likeable cast, a potentially intriguing story and that it was part of my low budget completest quest and popped up in my recommended for you section. Was also a bit apprehensive, with a less than favourable rating and generally reviews that were lukewarm at best. 'Black Water', when checking it out, certainly could have been much worse. There are definitely worse films about, of the genre and overall. Is it a good film let alone a great one? Not even close. Did it use its potential? No. Is it that bad? Not quite. Does it has redeeming qualities? Yes, but not many. To me, while having learnt not to trust ratings and not worry about going against the grain (though am in the minority here who respects critics opinions and tend to be on the same, or slightly above or below, page as them), the rating is about right and do have to agree with the criticisms here. Dolph Lundgren is fun to watch and the main reason as to why 'Black Water' wasn't any worse, Lundgren being the best thing of the film. Some of the story intrigued at the promising start and the music while not the most memorable is at least listenable. Unfortunately, Jean Claude Van Damme looks fatigued and goes through the motions, he didn't look interested at all or look like he wanted to be there. None of the characters are developed enough and are very difficult to get behind. 'Black Water' looks cheap, especially the badly organised and sometimes incomprehensible editing and catastrophically awful visual effects, so fake looking and doesn't blend well with the setting at all. The action is both dull and chaotic, there is nothing exciting and it's choreographed with no enthusiasm or finesse. The script is too talky and has no tautness, the pace is flabby and the story gets far too complicated with the twists not being that much of a surprise. The direction seemed indicative of lack of experience or ease. Overall, not horrendous but severely lacking in many areas. 3/10 Bethany Cox

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

HOW LONG will these " septagenarians " keep making lame films like this feeble effort ?? Jean-claude, Dolph, Sylvester, Arnold, Segall etc etc. All the makeup in Hollywood is not enough to paper over the craggy faces or the sagging muscles ! This film was probably shot in a warehouse, and the "submarine" in. a bath tub ... cheap in every respect ! Please don't waste a couple of hours of your life watching this EVEN on a rainy Sunday ...
