Overblown - A High Wind in Jamaica
10 April 2024
This misfire features Anthony Quinn and James Coburn (of Magnificent Seven fame). Quinn has made much better films with roles as a pirate, but this film limits him. It has a dark, underlying repressed sexual desire for pre-teens, as well as a very uncomfortable plot and climax. The pirates just don't seem to be real pirates. Peter Pan had better pirates than this film.

Coburn seems a bit wooden in his role, and Quinn seems to be miscast for this particular pirate role. The kids, however, are just fine. I would also recommend a much better construction company for my house, if I were the owners of the one featured in the beginning of the film.
