Geena Davis stars in this adventure saga as the most swashbuckling female pirate to ever lay waste to the seven seas. Morgan Adams (Davis) is the daughter of a pirate who has followed in her father's footsteps. When he dies, he passes along his ship, a crew of bandits, and one third of a treasure map (which happens to be tattooed on his skull). Morgan is eager to search out the rest of the map and retrieve the riches, but the fragment she holds is in Latin. Morgan then buys a well-educated slave, William Shaw (Matthew Modine), who can read the ancient language and already has a taste for the criminal life. However, Morgan and William are not long into their search when they discover that someone else is following the same trail for the rest of the treasure map: Dawg Brown (Frank Langella), Morgan's uncle and as black-hearted a scurvy dog as ever boarded a ship. As Morgan and Dawg battle each other over the fragments of the map, a British journalist (Maury Chaykin) covers their feud for the penny press. William Shaw was originally to have been played by Michael Douglas, who dropped out in the early stages of this troubled production. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

I don't know if I can get enough of this movie. It is so awesome. From start to finish the movie is non stop action. Sword fights, gun fights, cannonball fights, fist fights, horse chases, ship chases, explosions everywhere. Non stop everything. Totally awesome!!!!
Along with the action we actually have a story line, an actually plot that makes sense. With great acting, directing, makeup, costumes, settings, etc.... I just can't say enough. I really don't know how this movie never made it big in the box office except perhaps for poor marketing. Do your selves a favor and don't pass this one up.
If your a movie buff that demands great stereo surround sound, and picture quality. I'm telling you it's all here. This movie is a good 2 hours long, and its that good you'd swear you couldn't belive it's over all-ready. |
