      Audience Member one of the better Houdini silents Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A simple no brained action film which was the third entry of Magician Master Harry Houdini who was a much better magician that actor. The story of this film is pretty straight forward treasure hunt, bandits & a dangerous unknown island. Most notable would be some of the real life escape stunts performed by Houdini. Not a cinematic treasure but interesting to see the master at work & has some clever underwater filming & Camera Trick photography for the periscope scenes. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Boring, predictable, and just like every other movie of its kind. I wasn't impressed by this movie at all. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member It still entertains after all these years, and Harry Houdini's escape scene is pretty cool, as is the water scenes, but it is a pretty average silent film. Nothing really innovative, prett average adventure storyline, but those silent movie stunt people really risked everything! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Harry Houdini stars in this very entertaining adventure melodrama. Unfortunately, the surviving print is missing two important reels that contained a few of Houdini's most lavish stunts - but what remains is still a supremely entertaining potboiler full of pulp thrills, and an interesting look at the escapist storytelling of another era.
