3/10
Like Watching a Trainwreck in Slow Motion
23 May 2022
This film essentially begins with a female pirate by the name of "Kelly" (Jeannie Bell) being told that her younger sister has been kidnapped and subsequently used as slave labor by a man named "Monteiro" (Tony Carreon) who owns a large coffee plantation somewhere in the South Seas. So, not being able to count on government intervention, both Kelly and her trusted colleague "Anggie" (Rosanne Katon) decide to allow themselves to be captured with the intention of finding her sister and then escaping. What they don't count on, however, is how difficult escape will be to achieve. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that watching this movie was similar to observing a trainwreck in slow motion. You know it's bad but you can't avert your eyes from it. Having said that, I'm not sure which was worse-the action scenes or the overall acting. As a matter of fact, about the only positive attribute was the inclusion of several attractive actresses with Rosanne Katon and Jayne Kennedy (as "Serena") probably standing out the most, in my opinion. Even so, none of these young ladies could have possibly saved this film and I have rated it accordingly. Below average.
