Better Late Then Never

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Well this is a low budget starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. Do you enjoy his other low budget movies? If you do, you will probably enjoy this one. It ain't any special, and Van Damme has better movies even in his post 2010 resume, but its competent and does the job. Lundgren has a rather small role despite being showcase on the cover as much as Van Damme. I wouldn't say its a cameo but his screen time is small. The other main actresses does a fair job with her character as well.I would say honestly its a rather competent spy/action movie with a decent plot and enough action to keep you interested. Its aimed at the fans of Van Damme before anything else wich i am.

A very low cheap budget movie, group of Senior citizens attempt to do an Jacky Chan 80's movie, but fail, no director, no actor, terrible producers, no FX, no dialogue, no story, no history, nothing a clear and very clean movie almost u can see is fake everything, just two words for the dudes IS OVER, no more please, so pathetic see a JC try to act like a secret agent, how? there are government employees at their 80 years old working for the agency?....Agree with everybody the only good thing of this is the JCVD hair dye !!!! i want that for me )))....sorry guys..go home stay calm play with their grand children...walk in the park...thanks

Everything about this movie is grade C, from props, sets, direction, story, action etc. If anything it is trying to bring Van Damme back to life but unfortunately there is not much of that left in him. The guy can hardly move now and so should avoid attempting to relive his past. Unrealistic shootouts and action scenes seal the fate of this movie.

Black Water is a mediocre action movie starring Jean Claude Van Damme as a framed agent who has to escape a submarine on which he is imprisoned. The rogue agents who set him up are also there and trying to obtain information from him. And that's more or less the plot of the film. Helping JCVD is a prisoner played by Dolph Lundgren as well as a good agent who is not a field operative but found herself on the submarine as support. Overall this film has elements of Escape Plan mixed with Under Siege but is nowhere near those films in terms of action or acting. The fact is that the story is weak and cliched and makes the film drag on and on in the last forty minutes or so. There is the usual reveal of the traitor/mole and it's no surprise. The action is mostly implausible given that there are bullets flying all over the submarine with no consequence. And the submarine for the most part looks like a cheap set and way to big to actually convince anyone of its authenticity. The end is also unsurprising and seen in countless other c grade movies. I would rate it around 3.5-4/10. Best avoided.
