Verdict on Black Water
Black Water is an action thriller following a doubled-crossed undercover operative. He gets captured and turned on by his handlers and thrown in a black site. Once captured, he must learn who to trust as he searches for a way to clear his name.
This movie takes us on a corrupt mission which sees an expert agent turned on. It creates a contained environment to keep the action tight and with limitations. Even if most of the action is similar throughout each scene with more shooting than fighting sequences. It is a fun little late-night action movie, but never lives up to the potential the lead stars could unleash on the movie.

Final Thoughts –Black Water is an entertaining late-night action movie.
