Movie Reviews of Swashbuckler
Movie Review: Swashbuckler
Summary: 5 Stars
This film came out in '76 I believe and was overshadowed by The Godfather and all those others. It is a fabulous gem for those who love swinging around on ropes, the call of the open sea, slashing swords and comraderie that rivals the best of Star Trek! Robert Shaw is mesmerizing in this romantic lead, and a huge surprise! Genevieve Bujold is also a small but plucky rapier wielding delight! Amazing supporting cast with Geofrey Holder as Cujo the knife thrower and his street theatre band, Beau Bridges in his stunning 20's, Peter Boyle in black satin and slicked back hair of the degenerate villain and Angelica Huston in a wordless performance as "Woman of Dark Visage". Astounding! This is not a major film, but an enormous delivery of fun wrapped in some of the best rousing music I've ever heard! Y'gotta see this one!!!! Way too much fun!!!!
Summary of Swashbuckler
Bonus features: production notes talent bios film highlights theatrical trailer and web link. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 02/08/2005 Starring: Robert Shaw Peter Boyle Run time: 101 minutes Rating: Pg Director: James GoldstonePractically a nonstop brawl between pirates and anybody who gets in their path, this lighthearted, high-energy 1976 movie set in 18th century Jamaica is short on an actual story but thick with stunts and swordplay. Robert Shaw stars as the bawdy, swaggering pirate Red Nel Lynch, whose lusty crew of thieves comes to the aid of Lynch's right-hand man and close pal (James Earl Jones), then helps a beleaguered noblewoman (Genevieve Bujold) whose father and property have been seized by a local tyrant (Peter Boyle). Plot details are pretty much relegated to filling in the spaces between rollicking scenes of flying fists and gleaming blades, and a sort-of love story between Shaw and Bujold never gets the chance to go anywhere for all the orchestrated scuffling. Boyle's performance as a Basil Rathbone-style villain has got to be the least persuasive role of his career, but there are compensations, particularly Bujold's feisty turn as the heroine and a kooky scene in which Shaw and Jones amuse each other by trading dirty limericks. Directed by James Goldstone (Winning). The DVD release includes production notes, cast and filmmakers' bios, a theatrical trailer, and Web links. --Tom Keogh
