The 1080p/AVC Blu-ray of 'Cutthroat Island' delivers a generally impressive video quality with rich colors, deep blacks, and crisp detail, despite occasional softness and minor motion artifacts. DNR is applied minimally, preserving a thin grain structure and filmic quality without significant loss of texture.

Audio: 66

The 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track of "Cutthroat Island" is a bombastic, immersive experience, delivering roaring cannon fire, detailed directional sound effects, and John Debney's riveting score with precision and clarity. The dynamic bass response and articulate dialogue create an engaging soundscape that elevates the home theater presentation.

Extra: 28

The Blu-ray extras for 'Cutthroat Island' include a candid and insightful commentary by director Renny Harlin, a 6-minute featurette offering limited behind-the-scenes content, and both theatrical and teaser trailers. Despite the minimal and somewhat superficial nature of the featurette, Harlin's earnest reflections provide significant value.

Movie: 63

Despite its notorious box office failure and some poor casting decisions, 'Cutthroat Island' offers bombastic action, lavish set pieces filmed in Malta and Thailand, and consistently entertaining pirate antics. The Blu-ray boasts an impressive transfer with a robust soundtrack, though it lacks substantial extras beyond Harlin’s commentary.
