Reviews in German: CUTTHROAT ISLAND. A tongue-in-cheek swashbuckler starring Geena Davis as a ì
buccaneer's daughter taking over her late father's galleon in the ì
17th-century Caribbean. It's a poor piece of storytelling, with spectacular ì
action sequences but insufficient grace. No one who's seen Polanski's Pirates ì
is likely to dismiss CutThroat Island as a total disaster, though. -- PF in ì
Mail & Guardian

"In der besten Tradition klassischer Piratenfilme der 50er Jahre, aber im ì
modernen Gewand, mit perfekter Technik, viel Pyromanic und hervorragenden ì
Stunts präsentiert sich dieses kurzweilige und sehr temporeiche Spektakulum. ì
Handwerkliche Fertigkeiten, wie Inszenierung und Montage, werden den hohen ì
Ansprüchen gerecht. Alles in allem bietet dieser Film großes, opulentes ì
Schau-Kino von großer Perfektion." Aus dem FBW-Gutachten

"Seine Modernität aber gewinnt DIE PIRATENBRAUT durch das Abrücken vom ì
klassischen Schwarzweiß-Schema, der Film hebt die Grenzen zwischen Gut und ì
Böse auf. Alle Beteiligten werden bei der Schatzsuche irgendwann zu ì
Verrätern. Augenzwinkernd äfft der Plot die Wirklichkeit nach und ist damit ì
der gesellschaftlichen Realität wahrscheinlich näher als es der Piratenfilm ì
jemals war." epd Film 5/96
