We’ve had our fair share
of cartoonish caricatures when it comes to pirates in recent years, with Johnny
Depp’s Jack Sparrow and in a literal sense Aardman’s family friendly film
devoted to such swashbuckling. With such figures now becoming a legitimate threat
in the nether regions of our world, it was only a matter of time
before we were provided a painstaking depiction.
Already proving his
credibility when dissecting controversial issues with his script
for The Hunt starring Mads Mikkelsen last year, Tobias Lindholm returns to
the directorial hotseat inspired by ‘real events’ and an eagerness to put his
audience through the emotional wringer.
