No folks, I mean it. This has to be the best pirate movie ever made. It has pace, wit, style and a winning cast that are obviously enjoying every minute of it. There are no supernatural beings, mythical sea monsters or CG-laden blue-screen pirates... just people. And this is what a pirate movie should be In my opinion. Hidden treasure, romance, blue skies, gruesome antics and scurvied dogs 'aharrrring'.

Factually, there were women pirates (Ann Bonney, Mary Reid) and although this is far from being a history lesson, its good to know that it stays within the 'possible'.

From Patrick Malahide's asides to his lieutenant'Trotter' to Frank Langella's evil grimaces as 'Dawg' this film never ceases to please. I own posters made for the market scene, an extra's costume, a continuity script and a prop master's plan for the poop deck of the Morning Star... in other words I simply love this movie.

Famous for being the film that bankrupted its production company (Carolco) Cutthroat Island was directed by Renny Harlin and starred Geena Davis, Matthew Modine, Frank Langella, Maury Chaykin and Patrick Malahide. It easily beats Pirates of the Caribbean and was made many years before it. If you have only seen the Johnny Depp movie, buy a copy of Cutthroat Island and you'll be blown out of the water...

Finally... take a look at the stunt where Morgan comes gambolling through an upper storey window straight into the driving seat of fast-moving coach and horses... now how did they do that!

Cutthroat Island is directed by Renny Harlin and written by Robert King and Marc Norman. It stars Geena Davis, Matthew Modine, Frank Langella, Maury Chaykin, Patrick Malahide, Stan Shaw and Rex Linn. Music is scored by John Debney and cinematography by Peter Levy.

A film of many flaws, with a reputation akin to it being the devil of big budget failures, it is, however, a wonderful piece of piratical entertainment if you are prepared to see past the monetary excess. Famously cited as the film that bankrupted Caroloco Pictures, the truth is that Carolco was going under anyway, the studio had filed for bankruptcy before Cutthroat Island had even been released, the box office performance was irrelevant, it wouldn't have made a bit of difference. And while no amount of hard sell marketing could have gotten the film to make back the $98 million spent making it, it received no support from distributor MGM who were in the process of being sold, so finances for marketing were not available.

Harlin's movie has all the pirate movie ingredients crammed in to the plot, though it is a standard plot that sees Davis as female pirate Morgan Adams who leads her charges on a quest to find the ultimate treasure hoard. Problem is that the map is in three parts, each part held by separate people, one of which is Morgan's vicious Uncle Dawg (Langella). The hunt and race is on, and Harlin doesn't pause for breath, he's a kid in a sweet shop armed with wads of cash, but the money, as gargantuan as it is, is there on the screen; well except for the hiring of better actors that is.

Badly neglegted when was realease as Jonny Depp getting all the glory for Pirates of. I thin this is a better movie . Michael Douglas was asked to do the movie but because it had a female lead he would not accept second billing. Gfreat pirate movie harping back to the Burt Lancaster Crimson Pirate days. I enjoyed ver much and Bluray transfer is very good sound too. Amazon does it again good price and first calss produt Why shop anywhere else?

I am SO thankful to see this film with so many positive reviews!!!!! Two or three years before it's release star names were bring rumoured for a new pirate film - the first for many years! Michelle Pfeiffer's name came up as a possible lead. Time passed. But there was still excitement mounting for me. And then a title was announced to say that is was going to be called Cutthroat Island. Then a documentary appeared on television about the making off. That was a revelation: it was going to be great and Renny Harlin- and particularly GEENA DAVIS- were just SO enthusiastic. At the end she smiled broadly and said after filming was finished ''I can't believe I've got to stop being a pirate!''. Lovely stuff. It was so obvious she was having huge fun and satisfaction making it. She looked so great in the part - she was everything you wanted a female pirate to be! Yes, there really were at least two real female pirates Anne Bonney and Mary Read (my surname too). So another wait, and then a cinema release. Due to family commitments I had to wait until the last day it was being shown at our local cinema. I was so excited, so expectant. Amazingly, but true, I was the ONLY person in the cinema that afternoon!!!! When it was over it had far exceeded my expectations - TERRIFIC from start to finish. Characters, story, acting, direction, spectacle, EXCITEMENT and one of the best soundtracks ever. I nearly stood up and applauded !!! GEENA was superb as were all the cast. A REAL story of pirates (no ghostly ships, skeleton figures, etc. etc.). JUST PIRATES!! I was so dismayed to hear that it flopped at the box office and sunk Carolco. TV critics haven't done it any favours either when shown on the small screen. IT IS A GREAT FILM - and yes -- it IS better than the Pirates of the Caribbean films.Read more ›
