Dynamic screen star Pierce Brosnan (THE TAILOR OF PANAMA, THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH) braves the perils of an untamed land in this classic story of sweeping action and high adventure! As the sole survivor of a disastrous high-seas shipwreck, Robinson Crusoe (Brosnan) is forced to build a solitary life on a deserted tropical island. But he eventually discovers that even this existence is threatened by a local tribe, which uses his island for barbaric sacrificial rituals! Soon, Crusoe will risk his own life to save a doomed tribesman from certain death! In a thrilling adaptation of the timeless novel by Daniel Defoe, both men -- each stranded and unable to return home -- must cross an immense cultural divide to forge a friendship and survive against impossible odds!

Pierce and Cruseo

What a lovely combination.An old story played by a great actor. I am sure that you will all enjoy.It is a story as olf as time itself.

Crusoe Crucified

I am sure Daniel Defoe would spin in his grave if he knew there were so many people so fanatic about his book they would crucify any movie titled after his book that did not follow his book to the letter and be many hours long and bore people to death. Consider this movie is more likely to get people to either read the book or to reread it. Keep in mind after all any movie that followed the book in detail would be longer than all three Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings movies together. Now that might be a good thing, but consider Peter Jackson did not follow J.R.R. Tolkien's books exactly. Somehow though either he is forgiven, or there are so many fans of the LOTR movies, the book readers figure they better keep there mouths shut about critical summations or they might wish they had.

I suggest to anyone if they want to see an adventure movie that tries to convey some of the hardships that Defoe told of in his book, be sure to rent this. I think you will find the Brosnan is good and the production and story don't damage Mr. Defoe's reputation. I don't see to many decent versions of this story unfortunately and I consider this to be one of the better ones. You may want to check the Brunel version as well. this DVD is sharp and clear with good picture and sound quality. The DVD does not include much in the way of extras.

one of Brosnan's better ones

good story line, good scenery....interesting...Brosnan is usually such a light weight to me in most movies...too stuffy, bit I really liked his character in this movie...

An interesting variation

The slavery aspect was offputting, but the pleasure of the other natives at hearing Friday's story raised my rating.

so so ...

average movie. Nice to see Pierce Brosnan with a beard.
Not much action, but how much action can you have stranded in the Pacific?
