Admiral on Netflix
« on: May 31, 2016, 12:22:38 pm »
I found a movie titled Admiral on Netflix the other day. It was listed from 2015.
From what I read it was originally titled Michiel de Ruyter (the main character) but was changed for the American audience. It doesn't have great reviews but that hasn't stopped me watching things in the past.
It recounts the history of the Netherlands and English trade wars during the 17th century.
Here is a link to the trailer:

From what I've read of the history of the time it seems to take a broad brush to the political history but portrays naval combat fairly well.
It's exciting, violent, and there are plenty of ships blasting each other with broadsides.
Definitely worth a watch if you have Netflix.
