SANDOKAN AND THE PIRATES OF MALAYSIA 1964 (SINISTER CINEMA)

I had heard a lot about this film and finally sat down to watch it.

Steve Reeves is the title character Sadokan, a Malaysian rebel who hires a group of renegades to help him defeat a British General who is attempting to overthrow a kingdom.

This Italian film was filmed in Singapore and directed by Umberto Lenzi. I really didn't mind the movie, but I wasn't too impressed by it either. I'm not sure why I felt this way.

It might be that I simply expected more out of Steve Reeves since I have only seen him in muscle poppers, and this is a very different kind of movie.

There is some action, but not enough to save the entire running time. For some reason this just did not click with me, but if you're a fan of Reeves you might want to check it out.

The rest of the cast includes Jacqueline Sassard, Mimmo Palarma and Andrea Bosic.
