"For all lovers of the old fashioned action films, this movie about a pirate attack on a ship carrying the anything but respectable girl of the artistocratic ship’s captain is golden. Although one can’t deny that a movie like this looks a little outdated, the story is still gripping, with all the background and sub-plots to support it, and the appeal of the hand-made special effects is something that remains unsurpassed by the artificial wonders of CGI."
