Description of Nate and Hayes:
The swashbuckling adventure, Nate and Hayes, is a long lost prototype for the more recent Pirates of the Caribbean. Morally-intact pirate, Captain Bully Hayes (Tommy Lee Jones), adopts Nathaniel Williamson (Michael O' Keefe), a reverend's son, to fight the ultra-villainous, slave-trading pirate crew headed by bounty hunter, Ben Pease (Max Phipps). Hayes makes a living illegally selling weaponry to native islanders, but that's nothing compared to the misdeeds his ex-friend Pease has lately undertaken. After Pease's shipmates pillage and kill everyone related to Nate and his fiancé, Sophie (Jenny Seagrove), Bully Hayes springs to action, motivated by his own romantic interest in Sophie, which develops as the plot thickens. Nate and Hayes looks and feels like Indiana Jones, with Disneyland-like island sets, Tommy Lee as the heroic, charismatic guy full of one-liners, and natives costumed with generic "native" bones through the nose, feathered headdresses, and grass skirts, making it easy to date this film according to Harrison Ford's classic. Plentiful sword-fighting scenes and shots of pirate ships sailing the open seas guarantee to please pirate buffs, though Nate and Hayes doesn't have the swarthy power of classics like The Black Swan, or those starring Errol Flynn. --Trinie Dalton
Nate and Hayes Reviews:
Best Pirate movie ever! 
2009-11-30 - Item arrived on time and in great condition. No complaints what so ever, I really enjoyed watching this movie ever since I was a little kid and still enjoy every minute of it!
Oblige me, Ben
2009-10-31 - I cannot believe I found this gem on DVD but I did. I remember begging my mom to let me watch this movie all the time when I was little. When the poor Beta machine died I cried inside, we didn't have it on VHS. My boyfiend and I were looking at movies on Amazon when I happened upon it and almost screamed.
This underrated movie is about Bully Hayes who is played by Tommy Lee Jones. He is destined for hanging when he tells a reporter/author a 'memory.' This memory involves Nathaniel and Sophie who are going to be married and becoming missionaries. Bully drops them off on the appointed island they are to go to. 'Blackbirders' or slavers who use Bully's symbol of the raven kill Nathanial's Aunt and Uncle, capture many of the islanders (and kill those they don't take), knock him out cold, AND kidnap his fiance during the wedding cerimony. That is just the start of this movie. It is a good adventure and fun to watch.
Nate & Hayes
2008-12-27 - This is a great action movie which for some reason didn't make too much of an impact in the theaters. It is full of action, adventure, unexpected twists & humorous dialogue. I highly recommend it for all ages who enjoy a different kind of pirate tale.
A fun, consistant adventure film 
2008-08-27 - A modern pirate film that pits the good honorable pirate Bully Hayes against the truly bad, self-serving pirate Ben Pease. This film takes place at the end of the sailing ship era as steam powered ironclads make an appearance as the German empire attempts to gain a foothold in the south pacific.
A fun adventure with mild blood and the required violence expected in this type of movie.
Guz's Review
2008-07-24 - A very good movie; one of Mr. Jones' better ones. It has taken me some time to find it on DVD but it was worth the wait.
