The endless reworking of the Butch Cassidy buddy movie theme continues with this modest film. Roger Davis and Dack Rambo play bickering sailors who sail their boat into tropical Mexican waters, encountering local boss Ray Milland and widow Suzanne Pleshette. Along the way the sailors battle Milland and his henchmen while romancing the lovely Pleshette, leading to an unconvincing ending which really doesn't explain much about the story.
After a promising start, the second half of the movie disintegrates into the usual buddy shenanigans as the pair fight unconvincing battles with Milland's thugs. The action scenes are poorly done and by the end the film seems to have no point at all as the heroes escape via helicopter with an angry Milland watching them leave with a scowl on his face.
If you're excited about seeing Pleshette and Milland, forget it. Even though they are top billed, they both have fairly minor roles in this movie. There's one unintentionally funny party sequence and the scenery is beautiful, but that's about it.
