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.

Joe Leydon Variety 01/26/2019
Russell Mulcahy's seriocomic imagining of Errol Flynn's pre-stardom adventures is hugely satisfying old-fashioned fun. Go to Full Review
Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times 01/24/2019
[W]ith its incoherent, episodic script, "In Like Flynn" lacks the worth of even a minor Flynn film. Go to Full Review
Stephen Romei The Australian 10/19/2018
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. Go to Full Review

Predominantly fizzy and shamelessly cheesy Go to Full Review

The cast is first rate. As Flynn, Cocquerel has the good looks that made the Tazmanian Devil a star. Go to Full Review

6/10
The four have varying views of what their worldviews should be. The pacing is uneven, but the film still has some philosophical heft. Go to Full Review

andrea c 06/26/2023 Personaggio la cui vita sembra scritta apposta per un film, Errol Flynn rappresenta uno dei primi grandi divi del cinema hollywoodiano. Questo film naviga esattamente come la sua nave, tra realtà e finzione, senza mai far capire dove inizi una e finisca l'altra. Questo aspetto sicuramente permette una grande mobilità e flessibilità nel poter inserire personaggi ed eventi, ma allo stesso tempo lascia lo spettatore perplesso su chi sia veramente Flynn. Le location suggestive, anche dove l'utilizzo della CGI non è buono, donano un tono di leggerezza anche alle sequenze più personali. Purtroppo si ha la sensazione che la sceneggiatura si soffermi troppo su personaggi poco caratteristici ed originali, togliendo spazio a chi invece sullo schermo ci rimane tanto tempo senza mai avere la possibilità di esprimersi al meglio.

See more 01/02/2021 Absolutely shite, over the top, disappointing, boring. Such potential and they butchered it See more 05/29/2019 Rated R? I honestly thought I was watching a PG rated disney movie. The entire thing could have been animated and made for TV. The concept was good, execution and timing was crap. Remove 10 scenes and develop the rest, and you might have a decent movie. What a waste of 90 min. See more 05/27/2019 A fun ride with an exciting and dedicated cast that meshed together well! See more 04/29/2019 In Like Flynn has an incredible cast that brought the true story of Errol Flynn's adventure to life. Every performer created realistic and engaging depictions, as they also had me emotionally involved with each of their characters. Especially amongst Flynn and his three companions, Dook (William Moseley), Rex (Corey William Large), and Charlie (Clive Standen), they contained an on-screen chemistry that developed into a larger theme of friendship and loyalty in the film. All performers were able to bring a beloved, classic adventure, so I highly recommend you see their performances in In Like Flynn. See more Read all reviews
