Movie Reviews of Nate and Hayes
Movie Review: Tommy Lee's Best
Summary: 5 Stars
Tommy Lee Jones is a big name in Hollywood but what people don't realize is once upon a time he starred in a movie called Nate and Hayes. This movie was one of my childhood favs. I had it on VHS and wore the tape out to the point of snapping. I have been searching for this movie for years. Imagine my surprise when I saw it on AMAZON in DVD format of course I had to snap it up. When it got here I opened it up and watched it non-stop three times.
What surprised me was I expected after all of these years to laugh at the bad acting or a bad script or even to scoff at the special effects at the time being so bad compared to the superior quality we get today. I didn't! It stood the test of time and delivered a quality story with equal parts action, romance, and humor with special effects/stunts that could easily place it on the silver screen today and no one would be the wiser that it was made so many years in the past.
Having said that I know must tell you that very few people know of this movie which lead many to believe it wasn't very good or since they have never heard of it they should pass it over. STOP! There is an old saying, "Never judge a book by it's cover." In this case never judge a movie because you've never heard of it. Snap it up, watch it, love it, pass it on! It is a great action flick and if you are anything like me you will swear it is one of Tommy Lee Jones's better roles. By the end of the movie you will be saying, "How come I never heard of this movie before?" or I didn't write this review! ENJOY!
Summary of Nate and Hayes
A swashbuckling adventure which takes place in the mid-1800's on the South Pacific islands where bloody raids and battles were once the rule of the day. A notorious buccaneer and a young reverend team up against the villainous ruler of a cutthroat gang.System Requirements:Runtime: 99 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: PG UPC: 097360154948 Manufacturer No: 015494The swashbuckling adventure, Nate and Hayes, is a long lost prototype for the more recent Pirates of the Caribbean. Morally-intact pirate, Captain Bully Hayes (Tommy Lee Jones), adopts Nathaniel Williamson (Michael O' Keefe), a reverend's son, to fight the ultra-villainous, slave-trading pirate crew headed by bounty hunter, Ben Pease (Max Phipps). Hayes makes a living illegally selling weaponry to native islanders, but that's nothing compared to the misdeeds his ex-friend Pease has lately undertaken. After Pease's shipmates pillage and kill everyone related to Nate and his fiancé, Sophie (Jenny Seagrove), Bully Hayes springs to action, motivated by his own romantic interest in Sophie, which develops as the plot thickens. Nate and Hayes looks and feels like Indiana Jones, with Disneyland-like island sets, Tommy Lee as the heroic, charismatic guy full of one-liners, and natives costumed with generic "native" bones through the nose, feathered headdresses, and grass skirts, making it easy to date this film according to Harrison Ford's classic. Plentiful sword-fighting scenes and shots of pirate ships sailing the open seas guarantee to please pirate buffs, though Nate and Hayes doesn't have the swarthy power of classics like The Black Swan, or those starring Errol Flynn. --Trinie Dalton
