Movie Info

A chronicle of Errol Flynn's pre-Hollywood sea adventures up the east coast of Australia. His crew includes his best friend Rex, a wild, visceral young man, the Dook, a proper young gent from Cambridge, and Charlie, the aging, depressed previous owner of the boat. Flynn and company encounter beautiful virgins, underground boxing clubs, police raids, bar brawls, man-eating sharks, and cannibals while being forced to smuggle opium to survive. They must also battle the raging sea itself.

Critic Reviews for In Like Flynn

All Critics (21) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (10) | Rotten (11)

Russell Mulcahy's seriocomic imagining of Errol Flynn's pre-stardom adventures is hugely satisfying old-fashioned fun.

Joe Leydon
Variety
[W]ith its incoherent, episodic script, "In Like Flynn" lacks the worth of even a minor Flynn film.

January 24, 2019 | Full Review…

Kimber Myers
Los Angeles Times
This is an ambitious film from an important director that, like its subject, is far from perfect. But it deserves credit for just being there.

October 19, 2018 | Full Review…

Stephen Romei
The Australian
As Flynn, Australian actor Thomas Cocquerel...has the looks but neither the accent nor the urbanity required to bring him back to life.

October 10, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Sandra Hall
Sydney Morning Herald
This is a fun film constructed in a smart way: an anti-high art picture that happily prioritises embellishing legend over recreating life.

October 10, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Luke Buckmaster
Guardian
A disgracefully entertaining romp that packs an unexpected emotional wallop.

September 4, 2018 | Full Review…

Neil Young
Hollywood Reporter
Predominantly fizzy and shamelessly cheesy

May 4, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Peter Gray
The AU Review
The cast is first rate. As Flynn, Cocquerel has the good looks that made the Tazmanian Devil a star.

February 3, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Michael A. Smith
MediaMikes
The four have varying views of what their worldviews should be. The pacing is uneven, but the film still has some philosophical heft.

January 31, 2019 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review…

Mark R. Leeper
Mark Leeper's Reviews
Flashes of fun, mostly in the brawls, but a run-of-the-mill script and never dazzling leads let ol'Errol down.

January 29, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Roger Moore
Movie Nation
Mulcahy may be aiming for a boisterous good time like the Flynn-starring classic Captain Blood, but the flat, template-like raucousness of the Pirates of the Caribbean series oft proves more fitting.

January 28, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Sarah Ward
ArtsHub
Haphazardly assembled with minimal coherence or narrative logic, it plays out like a juvenile fantasy version of an Indiana Jones adventure.
