Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
The swashbuckling adventure, Nate and Hayes, is a long lost prototype for the more recent Pirates of the Caribbean. Morally-intact pirate, Captain Bully Hayes (Tommy Lee Jones), adopts Nathaniel Williamson (Michael O' Keefe), a reverend's son, to fight the ultra-villainous, slave-trading pirate crew headed by bounty hunter, Ben Pease (Max Phipps). Hayes makes a living illegally selling weaponry to native islanders, but that's nothing compared to the misdeeds his ex-friend Pease has lately undertaken. After Pease's shipmates pillage and kill everyone related to Nate and his fiancé, Sophie (Jenny Seagrove), Bully Hayes springs to action, motivated by his own romantic interest in Sophie, which develops as the plot thickens. Nate and Hayes looks and feels like Indiana Jones, with Disneyland-like island sets, Tommy Lee as the heroic, charismatic guy full of one-liners, and natives costumed with generic "native" bones through the nose, feathered headdresses, and grass skirts, making it easy to date this film according to Harrison Ford's classic. Plentiful sword-fighting scenes and shots of pirate ships sailing the open seas guarantee to please pirate buffs, though Nate and Hayes doesn't have the swarthy power of classics like The Black Swan, or those starring Errol Flynn. --Trinie Dalton

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A fun, consistant adventure film
A modern pirate film that pits the good honorable pirate Bully Hayes against the truly bad, self-serving pirate Ben Pease. This film takes place at the end of the sailing ship era as steam powered ironclads make an appearance as the German empire attempts to gain a foothold in the south pacific.
A fun adventure with mild blood and the required violence expected in this type of movie.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Guz's Review
A very good movie; one of Mr. Jones' better ones. It has taken me some time to find it on DVD but it was worth the wait.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I love this movie
I was so excited that I found this movie on DVD. I use to watch this movie when I was younger! It is one the best pirate movie!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An Exciting Adventure That Stays With You
I have loved this movie for years. After seeing Tommy Lee Jones in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof I didn't like him too much. This swashbuckling adventure changed my opinion drastically and made me realize what a great actor he is!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - May Your Swash Never Buckle
This is not an all time great movie, but it is a great lot of fun. If you like pirates, and chases, and sword fights, and suspense, and romance in the purest form of the word, you will like this movie. This is the flick that made me a fan of Tommy Lee Jones. It never takes itself too seriously. Enjoy, enjoy. May your swash never buckle.
