The Silver Glove
#The Silver Bore
Daniel Jones
If you’ve ever seen a pirate film in the past, you can save your money. This is one of the
most predictable films I have seen this year. The plot is totally unbelievable and the
script is something amateurish out of filmmaker college. There is some nice
cinematography but the Hawaiian scenery is not enough to save this film. Great support
acting from the Frenchman Thierry Montpasse as the evil Captain Scar.
#Pirates At the Speed Of Light
Angela Moore
I just love this fast-moving pirate thriller. The story moves at dizzying speed from one
terrifying battle scene to the next and you really feel as if you are on the ships with these
evil thieves and smugglers. Chief pirate, British actor Colin Williams, is given all the
best, wittiest lines and the film has its share of laughs as well as scary moments. The
storm scene at the beginning leaves you both exhausted and terrified.
