Reviews
Sorry, this movie sucks
everything you have heard about this movie is true.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
I remember watching this as a kid and enjoyed it, so I was curious to see if still held up and for the most part it did. Set in a South Pacific that never really existed and cutting fairly loose with history, it was still a fun adventure with plenty of action and some memorable characters. A little cheesy in places but you expect that in a movie like this. If I was to have any criticism the movie's beginning kind of robs any suspense of what happens to the crew in the rest of the movie and given Hayes relationship with his crew during the main adventure, he seems pretty blasé about what happens to them at the start, it was at odds with how he was portrayed for the most part. That said a good fun adventure.
I don't know when I first saw Nate and Hayes. I know it's been in my collection for a long time, and I never get tired of watching it.Since I'm a big fan of villains, I naturally love Max Phipps as Ben Pease. I first saw him in "Road Warrior" with Mel Gibson.Tommy Lee Jones has had a long career entertaining us, and I think this was the first firm in which I ever saw him.Another of his lesser seen films is "The Park Is Mine"."Nate and Hayes" is a great swashbuckler, and a comedy as well.Lots of good one-liners to keep you smiling.Enjoy.
This is a great movie, not necessarily the most historically accurate film, but its still a really good pirate movie. I'm not sure of the year this movie was supposed to take place but at the beginning they are trying to sell thirty-thirty lever-action rifles... which didn't come out until the early eighteen hundreds. throughout the rest of the movie there are a bold mixture of period firearms that don't really let you get a grasp on when this is supposed to take place. What I really found interesting was that it had a scene in the beginning with the rope bridge that was amazingly close to the famous scene in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom... especially since this movie came out a year before Temple of Doom. No matter what... it's a good watch.
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
