Greatly under-rated swashbuckling adventure, 16 Mar 2001
By A Customer
Unjustifiably snubbed by the critics at the time and in every review I've read since, this big-budget pirate extravaganza features two full-sized galleons, a novel female all-action hero in Geena Davis, Frank Langella's gratifyingly nasty villain Dawg Brown ("Who wants to die first?"), some terrific stunts and special effects, and a great musical score. Add in Matthew Modine's sparkling performance as small-time thief William Shaw, unwillingly drawn into the world of cut-throats and treasure maps ("A ship! I find myself being fired on by an entire ship!")and you have a film which careers along delightfully until the (literally) explosive ending. A thoroughly enjoyable action-adventure which, notwithstanding the high level of bloodless cartoon violence, really is suitable for the whole family.

Amazing Action/Adventure score, 28 Nov 2000
This is one of the best action/adventure scores of '90s. It is perfection. The orchestra sounds positively massive. Don't let the chance to own this masterpiece go away. Buy it now!

Cutthroat Island, 1 Dec 2003
A fast moving picture with excellent surround sound.The story from the beginning captures you straight away with the great scenes of both stars on the carriage going through the town under constant barrage of fire from the enemy.
The constant speed at which the film runs keeps you on the edge of your seat and the final outcome although expected is good.
I am ordering a copy of this film purley for my collection,it is a film that could be watched again & again.Well worth the expense.
