Review: Much better than it's reputation suggests! - If you Google Cutthroat Island, what you'll see is an endless list of NPC's stating that the film is one of the biggest mistakes in cinema history. The film was a tremendous flop back in the day and according to people, this makes it a terrible film. The truth is, this is a fast paced pirate flick that at times can easily rival the best of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Yeah, I said it. As much as I love the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, I'd rather watch this movie than see another Jack Sparrow movie. The first movie in that series is very similar to this. It's a group of pirates seeking directions to a magnificent treasure hunt. We have two unlikely people teaming up together to achieve this goal whilst being pursued by an evil bad guy. It may not be the most original plots but it's very clearly a homage to the classic swashbuckling films of Errol Flynn's heyday and delivers just that. The film includes a large amount of practical effects, stunts, beautiful sea shots and some impressive pyrotechnics. All of which should definitely be the selling point of the film. It's no secret that the acting is quite wooden in places. But the positives I mentioned above is what carries the film. Every time the film moves from one impressive set piece to another (most of which are real places and quite beautiful), we are greeted with some high energy sword fights, horse chases, explosions etc and they're done VERY well. You can clearly see where the films large budget went, with no penny left over. There's a lot of love put into the visual effects and they still look tremendous. The German Bluray that I bought looks fantastic. The picture is sharp and very clear. The colour is also quite striking, making the extremely colourful outfits and blue seas just burst out of the screen. It's a fantastic looking movie and high definition makes it look even more so. The disc itself is easy to work out, despite being in German. The language setting is easily accessible and it works in a UK Bluray player just fine (just in case you're wondering). The sound is absolutely incredible. The film's score is extremely well done and sounds extremely bombastic through a home theatre. The special effects for the gun fights, ship battles etc are just as impressive. I haven't been THIS immersed in a film of it's type and that is saying something. If you're like me and enjoy a good pirate film, this is well worth having. It's reputation suggests is a truly god awful film and so do certain reviews here. But quite frankly, I would pay good money to see a film like this in 2022. Disney couldn't touch this film now. I couldn't recommend it more, especially if you like your televisions large and your surround systems loud. A great cinematic experience. Review: “You are heartless, Lieutenant!” [Morgan] - In this 1995 pirate adventure, Morgan [Geena Davis], a notorious female pirate, gains possession of part of a three part treasure map, but can she get the other two pieces before her evil uncle and who will win the race to claim the treasure as their own? Implausible some scenes may be, but it is a fantasy adventure, just think ‘Indiana Jones’ meets ‘Master and Commander’ or ‘Pirates of the Carribean’. The costumes and sets are top notch and the acting is good. Gina Davis is perfect as pirate Captain, Morgan, the heroine of the story. Some of the dialogue may be corny and cliché, but the humour is mainly tongue in cheek and it’s meant to be and all part of the fun. The single disc opens to a main menu offering play, scene selection, special features [trailer, making of, interviews, behind the scenes and storyboards], set up [English 5.1, directors commentary, English subtitles on/off] and resume movie. Full of action from beginning to end, and without any sex, nudity or harsh swearing, and with a dry wit throughout, this has to be a sound ***** recommendation for all the family although with scenes of action violence, parental discretion is advised. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00275EDYA | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 - 2.35:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 125,567 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 19,957 in Action & Adventure (DVD & Blu-ray) 39,045 in Blu-ray | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,549) | | Dubbed: | French | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | Relay time: 84min | | Language | English, French | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 1.78 x 19.05 x 13.72 cm; 0.28 g | | Subtitles: | English, Spanish | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Colour - **Genre:** action_&_adventure - **Language:** English, French - **Number of discs:** 1 - **UPC:** 012236104339 ## Images ![Cutthroat Island [1995] [US Import] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51+lhI-GcvL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Much better than it's reputation suggests! *by S***E on 8 July 2022* If you Google Cutthroat Island, what you'll see is an endless list of NPC's stating that the film is one of the biggest mistakes in cinema history.

I first saw this many years ago and enjoyed it then only to find out that it had been hammered by the critics unfairly in my estimation I had to look twice to see that they were talking about the same film. So grab some popcorn sit back and enjoy! ## Frequently Bought Together - Cutthroat Island [Blu-ray] - The Long Kiss Goodnight - True Lies [4K UHD] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/76036451-cutthroat-island-1995-us-import](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/76036451-cutthroat-island-1995-us-import) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
