Viewing Notes

Finally catching up with this, a movie that was on HBO all the time when I was a kid and have barely no memory of other than it scaring me. Mom had the Benchley book which also terrified me. But I always liked the premise. Watching it now I wonder how it could really happen. Seems like the government would airdrop marines or send in the Seals to wipe out these pirates. I don’t believe they could stay hidden for so long after killing so many tourists.
