Swashbuckling done right
8 November 2003 | by Macholic – See all my reviews

Forget about "Pirates of the Caribbean" or "Cutthroat Island", this is the last swashbuckler done right! Fastpaced, well-acted and well-made pirate flick set in the South Pacific in the beginning of the 20th century adn starring Tommy Lee Jones and Jenny Seagrove, a perfect match. Any bit as ferrocious as "Indiana Jones And the Temple of Doom", this one mixes humor with gore and action, too bloody for young children, all others should enjoy it 8/10
