this is a movie about a modern day pirate(or at least,that's what he calls himself.really though he is simply a charter boat captain for hire and thief.his job does get him into some hairy situations,meaning a fair amount of action.there is even some intrigue and some romance as weals a hunt for buried treasure.captain Jefferey Thorpe(Thomas Ian Griffith) has 2 sidekicks who travel everywhere with him.mostly there for comic relief i guess.this has all the ingredients to be a great movie,yet it isn't.this whole sub genre of film has been done many times before,so there is little new or original in this movie.However,there is 1 thing this movie has going for it:Gerit Kling,who plays the dual role of Helna/Marlena and also the love interest of Thorpe.(Griffith)Kling is truly a stunning woman and when you combine that with her German accent,it's enough to make most men melt.(i did anyway)Griffith makes a credible action hero,if only the movie had something new to offer.despite the problems withe film,i'd still give it a 6/10,mostly for the beautiful love interest.
