Review of Mara Maru

This is a religious movie first and foremost. The focal point is a cross. The cross is worth a lot of money. And it's at the bottom of the ocean. Well, that complicates things. So how do we get it? We get a salvage crew, of course. But can they be trusted? Maybe, maybe not. Just be very, very careful.

This movie is about God vs money. From what I've heard God has no need for money. But it can come in pretty handy for us lost souls here on Earth. That's the battle in the heart of the Errol Flynn character. He wants to be a millionaire. And the cross is worth a million dollars. Sounds like a good deal, doesn't it? I mean, if all you care about is becoming a millionaire? Just get the cross and your #1 dream comes true. But maybe it's not a good idea to forget God though. Maybe God has a little hand or two in these things.

This is a good movie. I don't know why people like to knock movies like this. I don't get it. Saturday afternoon is the perfect time to watch a movie like this. Today is Saturday and I just watched this movie. It worked out pretty good for me. Maybe it will work out pretty good for you too.

Errol Flynn gives a very solid and realistic performance.
