StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Jesseree Brilliant documentary series, It has pretty much everything you would want from a documentary: a bit of history, current events, action, and human interest. Ross Kemp does a fantastic job in explaining the problem in an objective, understandable way. We follow his journey from the African coast to the oil fields in Nigeria, to the waters of Singapore and Malaysia and then back to Somalia, in his quest to learn more about the problem and meet some pirates in the modern world. He talks with politicians in the areas, the soldiers that patrol the areas, as well as the people that are harmed directly and indirectly by the problem of piracy. I appreciated the lack of interviews with the companies that are harmed by piracy, since that is information that we can get on the regular news channels. The whole documentary has a great flow to it, slowly building up to meeting real pirates and seeing first hand how they do what they do without really doing it. To the style: he is often talking to the camera, letting the viewer know what is happening while filming the action, this gives a great sense of really being there with him and taking part, the voice over is well done as are the interviews.If you are interested in the subject of piracy in the 21st Century, I can only recommend it.Like a wife of a pirate says they are naughty boys.
