Review of Cutthroat Island (1995) by Matthew L — 26 Nov 2013

This looks amazing, from set design to costumes and Frank Langella doesn't so much as chew the scenery as take huge handfuls from it and spit it back at the rest of the cast. However, looks aren't everything and whilst this has the appearance of a rollicking high-seas adventure the plot and script are so slapdash and laughable that it doesn't even fall into the 'so bad its good' category of film making.

More famous these days for sinking a studio, and pretty much stopping the careers of everyone involved in their tracks, with the exception of Langella. Come for the visuals but ignore the dialogue; 'I've got your balls' indeed!
