industry, as a young girl approached them asking for help to look for her

children washing up on a shore. Scared from these rumors, he visits the shore,
and eventually finds the girl that had kept asking for help. Realizing the counterfeit
for silver is deadlier than he thought, he investigates more, almost to the
point he could die.
The “Indian Jones” style
of some clips, leaves the viewer on edge. With a quite sense of humor, wit, and
thrilling action, the viewer will be on the edge of the seat. Similar to The
Admiral: Roaring Currents, the music has the “Pirates of Caribbean” feel
too. Adding this westernization to international films definitely draws viewers
to watch more international films.
