"For three hundred years a terrifying secret has been kept from the outside world."
- Director: Michael Ritchie
- Genre: Action, Adventure, Drama, Horror, Mystery, Thriller
- Studio: Universal Pictures
- Subtitled | Widescreen | Duration: 140 Mins
Overview:
This isn't so much a comedown as a plunge to the depths for Peter Benchley, the author of Jaws, who adapted the script for this quite ridiculous picture from his own novel. It beggars belief that legendary composer Ennio Morricone, the usually dependable Michael Caine and more-than-capable director Michael Ritchie frittered away their talents on this tale of 17th-century pirates caught in the Bermuda Triangle. Though not quite bad enough to be a bona fide turkey, this is still pretty awful and only the presence of Caine and respected co-star David Warner makes it worth watching.
