I was nervous to rent this after the poor reviews... but it kept my attention the whole time, and wasn't that predictable, I was challenged to think what would be next in each scene. A little glimpse of humanity coming together and people doing the right thing. Is it a typical Neeson action flick? Yes, it's like Nonstop meets Speed. So, if you are looking for a complicated drama look elsewhere. If you're looking for action entertainment and Neeson to make the day better than this is perfect.
Not what we had expected, but we still enjoyed it. We had expected more of a comedy, and it didn't quite turn out that way. It's a typical "grass is greener on the other side" type story. If you're in the mood for ComDrama this is likely your movie. The previews seemed to make it look like a pure
Murder, treasure, and possible mutiny are all featured in the third season of the swashbuckler television drama created by Jon Steinberg and Robert Levine, in a story set as a prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. The danger continues to rise for Captain Flint as Captain Flint (Toby Stephens) and the Walrus crew, as he falls into unexpected peril while in dangerous territory, and motivations of key crew members are questioned. Meanwhile, enemies at home plot to take the powerful pirate ship down for good. All ten episodes from Season Three are available in this collection.
If you haven't watched Black Sails, this is perhaps the best show on television and, in my opinion, it doesn't get anywhere near the recognition it deserves. Season 3 was another very solid season that had me on the edge of my seat. They added one major new location and a few new major characters this season, and it was all phenomenally well done. After purchasing the season, I've binge watched it twice in a row in the first two weeks of owning it and I can't wait for Season 4! I highly recommend this show to anyone that likes pirates, period dramas, history, well done action, or fast paced shows.
It's no surprise that this movie was nominated for an Oscar. With a compelling story and breathtaking artwork, this original story about a brave Japanese boy and his companions serves as a larger metaphor for family, commitment, and endurance. The plot revolves around Kubo, a young boy who supports his mother by telling swashbuckling tales about a Japanese knight named Hanso. Unbeknownst to Kubo, who utilizes a magical guitar and origami to spin his stories, the story is actually the history of his own father, who disappeared after trying to protect Kubo and his mother from his evil grandfather. The rest of the story involves Kubo's journey into his own legend, with a monkey companion and a mysterious beetle warrior. I laughed and cried with my family and still feel deeply unsatisfied that this movie lost at the Academy Awards.
This action-adventure chronicles the escapades of a swashbuckling and brutal pirate, Captain Flint (Toby Stephens), his shipmates and his rivals in the early 18th-century Caribbean. The series is a prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island," and is set 20 years before the events depicted in that literary classic. While bounding the Spanish Main and jolly-rogering across the seas, Flint accepts a young recruit, John Silver (Luke Arnold), to join his crew, while later quashing a mutiny, questing for treasures, broadsiding other pirate vessels and exchanging fire with the ships of the British Navy who have been charged with blowing Flint out of the water.

This film stuck with me for a few days after watching it. It was extremely visceral and I felt realistic. I tend to watch anything with Teresa Palmer anyway, and this might be my favorite captive genre type film I have seen. It is definitely worth the watch for the psychological thriller fan.

I read the book when it first came out, which was a while ago. From what I remember, this is a fairly faithful adaptation. The story, quite honestly, is fairly dark and depressing. Having a main character (Rachel/Emily Blunt) who is an alcoholic doesn't help, although (SPOILERS AHEAD) we find out at the end that her actions while she is blacked out aren't as bad as she thought they were. Still, it is hard to feel real sympathy toward her, or toward the secondary character (Megan/Haley Bennett) who is quite promiscuous, despite being married. Even the third woman (Anna/Rebecca Ferguson), who would seem to be one of the most sympathetic characters, starts out as the mistress of Rachel's husband and, along with Rachel's drinking, is the major cause of Rachel and Tom's (Justin Theroux) divorce. There isn't anyone to root for in this movie (or the book). The best one can hope for is that the truth comes out, which it does eventually. And Rachel finally starts getting her life together. P.S. Totally ignore reviews by people who say they only watched 15 or 20 minutes of the movie. It has quite a twisted, convoluted plot so you cannot evaluate a movie like that in 15 or 20 minutes. I understand why they might not like it - as noted, it is not a cheerful movie so if you don't like movies like "Gone Girl" you probably won't like this one.
