The Bounty - 8 stars out of 10

The Bounty - 8 stars out of 10

The Bounty tells the incredibly true story of Captain Bligh and the mutiny on his ship. Sir Anthony Hopkins gives a memorable performance as Bligh, hard-nosed and strict, displaying chilling intensity at all of the right moments. Mel Gibson provides one of his finest performances as the mutineer, Fletcher Christian, whose heartbreak for Tahitian Tevaite Vernette drives him to make a hasty decision. Superstars Liam Neeson and Daniel Day-Lewis are under-used in this script and could've really added to the realism provided by Hopkins and Gibson. Be prepared for a lot of tribal nudity, though the nudity is never distasteful or dirty. This film will create an appreciation toward the vastness of the ocean as the beautiful scenery engulfs you into this oceanic world.
