An apparently haphazard group of Springbreaker's rented boat and its captain seem the latest victims of a wave of pirate attacks, which only a female crew member survives, apparently hidden, while a pirate's corpse is left behind. However huge collective ransom is demanded for the youngsters. The team finds the corpse was actually killed before the attack and the earlier, bloodless pirate raids's gang has an alibi. One hostage is slaughtered after his father tries to pay an advance against police advice. The murderous captors demand the surviving crew-girl delivers the full ransom. Written by KGF Vissers
Red meat television! After years of (sitcoms) politically correct t v shows, and the anti T V violence crowd blaming peoples actions on T V, video games etc action shows are back. For the red meat audience. Car chases, fights, gun battles etc all back in an hour show. I am waiting for the t v critics to demonize five-o like they did with C S I. If one watches the show they see a good script, strong acting, and that the detectives use logic and reasoning to solve their cases. Of course the show is hyped an leaves out a lot of the mundane police work, and the action is over the top for dramatic purposes, but Five 0 is still a good show. I like how the police break down who robbed the boat in this show by using technology. Of course there has to be a plot twist to keep the audience interested in the script and then the case ends in a dramatic conclusion. I give this episode an 8 out 10!
