Cutthroat Island, a review by addicted2dvd

Cutthroat Island
Geena Davis (Thelma & Lousie, BeetleJuice) and Matthew Modine (Married to the Mob , Full Metal Jacket) deliver a tidal wave of nonstop action and adventure in this swashbuckling saga of ruthless pirates, buried treasure and bloodthirsty betrayal.

My Thoughts:
I am personally not a huge fan of pirate movies... but I do enjoy one every now and then. I mostly bought this movie on no other merit then it starred Geena Davis... who I always have enjoyed. And even though it is not my favorite subject matter... I did enjoy this one. I thought Geena Davis did a great job as usual. I really love a strong woman.... and that is something you pretty much always get from characters Geena Davis plays.

This is a series where I first thought the premise was run boring pretty fast. Until now I have seen the first three seasons which I enjoyed from beginning to end. This pilot is a good introduction to the series.
