Green Sails (2000) Online

Will Patterson (Marcus Graham) is a rising young executive with CCT, a multi international business, their future rests on the building of a dam on the land of the Lucean Tribe, Will finds out that CCT are using deceitful tactics to get their own way, and his career and life are in danger, he meets up with John Scott (Michael Ontkean) who is the original owner of CCT and who does not know of the problems the company faces. Along with John and a young crew Will joins this wonderful clipper of the title and tried to help the primitive tribe and stop the corrupt leadership of CCT. This is not a bad film made in Australia with little known actors and that makes it more realistic, even the baddie has an accent, some of the scenes of the ship and views are beautifully filmed, the only thing l found was that all the cast were handsome young man and beautiful women, there were no glasses, no plump people, no one with bad breath, but even so l would recommend this film as a good family film with an explosive climax

l give it 7/10

GREEN SAILS is an environmental drama/thriller from Australia. The story is quite political and about the efforts of a big business to grab land from a native tribe peacefully residing there. They resort to strong-arm tactics and falsity in order to get what they want, but some environmental crusaders and one good employee stand in their way. As a made-for-TV movie, this plays it safe throughout, but I found the storyline watchable albeit predictable. TV veteran Alexandra Paul co-stars and Thomas Kretschmann has a small role in the proceedings.
