Black Beach

Black Beach (2020) is a Spanish-Belgian thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Esteban Crespo. Carlos is a negotiation expert for a major American oil company, based in Brussels, with a move to New York almost locked in — until his employers send him somewhere he never wanted to return to.

A company engineer named Steve Campbell has been taken hostage in a volatile West African country, and Carlos has old ties there. The kind of ties that complicate things. Raúl Arévalo plays him as a man who can read any room but struggles when the room knows his own history. Candela Peña co-stars. At 115 minutes it runs tight — more political thriller than action movie, closer to a pressure cooker than a chase. Watch Black Beach (2020) online on iFILM.
