Review of Cutthroat Island (1995) by Steve Daly for Entertainment Weekly — 25 Jan 1998
Who thought letting Harlin steer into Captain Blood territory was a sage idea? To a piece that’s intended as a comic, tongue-in-cheek romp, he brings the same brutal, slo-mo pyrotechnics that lit up both his hits (Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger) and his biggest previous miss (The Adventures of Ford Fairlane).
Somewhere, Errol Flynn is wincing.
