-This is following the exact story beats as 2013's ESCAPE PLAN, which in itself came about 15 years too late. BLACK WATER is no different. A re-teaming of VD and Lundgren shoulda happened about ten years ago.
- Is there anything more tired than the submarine thriller? Especially in 2018? This was tired and boring back in 2000 when Dolph did AGENT RED (which was a remake of another lame submarine thriller, COUNTER MEASURES). This was similar to ALTITUDE in a sense... Hijacked plane thrillers wore out their welcome 20 years ago; ALTITUDE wasn't covering any new territory. BLACK WATER is no different.

- As Jox pointed out, stock footage is prevalent here, but it plays better and feels more organic than in AGENT RED. But there's also the same CGI shot of the submarine that comes in every 15 minutes to remind viewers that this takes place on a sub.
