Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
If you count yourself among lovers of period drama and adventure lovers, this one's for you. The costumes and settings are a feast on their own. A good follow-up to The Goonies or Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Paced for all ages, at 1 hr 32 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • It's in Norwegian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you want something with an edge.

A young Norwegian boy in 1850s England goes to work as a cabin boy and discovers some of his shipmates are actually pirates.
