Based from Flynn’s own autobiographicalIn Like Flynn is a biopic that functions to educate and give audiences a fun inside scoop into the life and adventures of Hollywood legend Errol Flynn before he made his way to America from Australia. Based from Flynn’s own autobiographical book titled “Beams Ends” written in 1937, we learn that he was a rambunctious and tenacious man seeking gold within the Papua New Guinea islands with a crew and ship. The story gives audiences a love story, a lust for riches, and a never ending bond from the shipmates who persevere through adversity. Fans of old time adventures will absolutely love this account from Australian director Russell Mulcahy, and his ability to convey Errol Flynn’s charm, wit, and ability to evade peril.… Expand

In Like Flynn is based on an autobiography by the iconic Errol Flynn and documents the life and adventures of the actor, before he was an actor. Before appearing in movies such as The Adventures of Robin Hood and Captain Blood, Errol FlynnIn Like Flynn is based on an autobiography by the iconic Errol Flynn and documents the life and adventures of the actor, before he was an actor. Before appearing in movies such as The Adventures of Robin Hood and Captain Blood, Errol Flynn was a treasure hunter, seeking gold believed to be hidden within the jungles of Papa New Guinea. Because he learned the ins and outs of the jungle, he took a job as a guide for Hollywood filmmaker Joel Schwartz which gave him the funds he needed for a proper expedition. Persuading pals Rex and Dook to join him on his newly procured boat, they were about to set sail when the boat’s original owner, Charlie, tried to steal it back. Working his magic, Flynn convinced Charlie to join his crew and the quartet set sail for the mythical riches of Papa New Guinea. The best part of his movie for me was the casting. Thomas Cocquerel perfectly captured the spirit of Flynn and was able to transition between roguish charm and accurate tension, whatever the moment requires. I also thought that Corey Large who played Rex did an equally good job. The two actors make a great team and their chemistry keeps the film moving.… Expand

In this classic boyhood-like pirate action adventure film, there are a lot of moving parts (underlying plots) that seamlessly work together to recreate the adventures of one Errol Flynn: easily the most charming, enthusiastic and good-looking man to ever hit the silver screen. This movie details how Errol Flynn, an outlaw pirate and master charmer, began his journey to the big screen during the Golden Age of Hollywood. Flynn quickly became one of Hollywood’s most successful actors playing the roles of adventurous heroes in films, one of which is “Adventures of Robin Hood”. Director Russell Mulcahy does an excellent job in including the audience in the fun adventures. I felt like I was part of the crew, one of the boys, tagging along on their quest for gold. Mulcahy made me feel like I was a part of the fun and adventure, rather than just being a spectator on the side.… Expand

The film follows Flynn (played by Thomas Cocquerel) as he, along with three other unique shipmates, embarks on an exhilarating journey from Sydney, Australia to Papua New Guinea packed with adventure around every corner. Everything from the acting to the story itself was enchanting, combining to create an all-around fun and enjoyable movie experience that I could not get enough of. The cast had some big names, such as Clive Standen, Dan Fogler, and William Moseley; however, I was most impressed with Thomas Cocquerel’s portrayal of the protagonist. Cocquerel perfectly captured Flynn’s charming and adventurous personality with every line he delivered, exemplifying the larger-than-life character he displays. Even more, the film was a wonderful throwback to the cinematographic style of old Hollywood, without being cheesy or simple. The film included elements that were so iconic to the era, such as the following of a drawn map to indicate a journey and cartoonish, fun fight scenes. I was engrossed in this film from beginning to end, and I could not recommend this film enough!… Expand

Reminiscent of Flynn's movies such as Robin Hood and Captain Blood, this movie had an old Hollywood charm that I never see in today’s movies. The plot revolves around Flynn's pre-Hollywood adventures when he lived the life of a pirate looking for gold up the coast of Australia. One review on Rotten Tomatoes said, "The cast is first rate. As Flynn, Cocquerel has the good looks that made the Tasmanian Devil a star", and I couldn’t agree more. Definitely one of the most exciting movies I've seen in a long time. I don't think any action fan that watches this will be disappointed!… Expand

It’s about Errol Flynn’s life before he made it big but not about him trying to make it big, and it is completely fascinating to me. Watching this film through that lens made it really fun for me, especially because I love film history, and as a self-contained story this movie still rules. It’s completely charming and has all those fun plot elements that we love to see in old films- adventure, romance, charming lead, bad guys. All of it just works so well together in a way that has you totally hooked.… Expand

Womanizer and gold prospector, Flynn (Thomas Cocquerel) convinces three men to accompany him on an open sea journey to Papa New Guinea on a boat stolen from Japanese opium smugglers—all to encounter large sums of gold. Although the film is based on the true life of actor Errol Flynn, prior to his performing years, the film contains unexpected and heart-tugging twists that kept me both engaged and emotionally attached to the plot and characters. I highly recommend you watch this film, as the combination of adventure and drama reeled me in to the story.… Expand

Errol Flynn’s character is daring, brave, and charming, which sometimes benefits, but also hurts him along his journey. In Like Flynn has a really well-written story line and amazing character development.… Expand

Not sure what this movie is trying to be, but the final product is an incoherent, confusing mess.
