User Reviews

A nice bunch of actors in a decent adventure film.

The American singer and actor Dean Reed stars in this adventure flick surrounded by charming Italian and Spanish actors."Los Corsarios" is certainly not a masterpiece but it offers some funny moments and characters though. The action scenes are decent and there are a lots of comic scenes which keep the spectator's interest till the end.

The story is undoubtedly neither clever nor convoluted: Isabella, the beautiful daughter of the viceroy of a Caribbean island is in danger after the death of her father. Her evil cousin wants the throne for himself and is determined to get rid of her. Luckily, a bunch of pirates, led by the handsome adventurer Alan Drake shipwreck at the island and help the young princess.

Although "Los Corsarios" has some flaws in the plot, it is a good way to spend 90 minutes if you like adventure comedies.In spite of the shallow characters,the actors are especially nice.Fans of Dean Reed will be glad to see him in his Italian period while he was starring in spaghetti-westerns and adventure films.The other male and female parts are also convincingly performed.
