Film reviews of The Silver Glove

The Silver Bore

Daniel Jones

If you've ever seen a pirate film in the past, you can save your money. This is one of the most predictable films I have seen this year. The plot is totally unbelievable and the script is something very unprofessional out of filmmaker college.1. .Great support acting from the Frenchman Thierry Montpasse as the evil Captain Scar is the only striking aspect.

2.

Angela Moore

I just loved this fast-moving pirate thriller. The story moves at dizzying speed from one terrifying battle scene to the next 3.. Chief pirate, British actor Colin Williams, is given all the best, wittiest lines and the film has its share of laughs as well as scary moments. The storm scene at the beginning leaves you both exhausted and terrified.

A Hidden Treasure

Max Court

I found this film absolutely delightful. An inspiring cast is directed with great skill and invention by German Dieter Muller. The ship chase creates a lot of tension and excitement.4.. Mystery lovers will expect their appetites to be fully satisfied.

Sharp Sword Drama

The Silver Glove is an action-packed pirate drama in the best traditions of this type. If you only want sword fights and buried treasure, you may be disappointed as this fascinating film also offers a complex plot which is never dull. Some of the language may be too crude for younger children, 5. . But this is really my only complaint. Some fine acting completes this fun movie.

A.Glove Sinks In The Sea
B. There are plenty of surprises in the story to keep the audience guessing until the last minute.
C. There is some nice photography of film making, but the Hawaiian scenery is not enough to save this film.
D. which may be regarded as a warning for parents
E. and you really feel as if you are on the ships with these evil thieves and smugglers
F. Pirates At The Speed Of Light

G. and you knew what was going to happen in the film

(hide) them under children’s pillows.

As the Chinese character for “year” has the same 8.. (pronounce) as the monster’s name,people called the coins “ya sui qian”,meaning “9. (luck) money against the evil spirit”.10.. time passing,paper notes replaced the coins and the red envelope replaced the thread.
