Black Sea (Kevin Macdonald, 2014)

Jude Law stars as a marine salvage expert who is made redundant and then comes across and opportunity to make millions plundering Nazi gold from a sunken submarine in the Black Sea. a ragtag team of Brits and Russians is assembled and tensions duly arise onboard their decrepit sub over the division of the loot, which inevitably leads to disaster.
There's nothing dramatically new in the premise or the crew composition, so it's all down to the tension to keep up the interest and Macdonald keeps this up adequately, with Law a surprisingly gritty presence at the heart, essaying a pumped-up Aberdonian accent that mostly stays the right side of parody, if not quite plausibility. The message, if there can really be said to be one, is of course that greed corrupts (duh!), but otherwise it's pretty much a horror-film exercise in guessing in which order the largely unlikable entourage are bumped off.
