Decent storyline but HIGHLY predictable. Anticlimactic climax with a hasty, mad dash to the resolution. I felt like the clash of one of the story's main protagonist & antagonist would have been more spectacular. It wasn't at all.

Great idea, weak execution.
Pirate, Jean Lafette "retires" to Galveston, but his Enemies are after him.
Old feuds, politics and a rumored hidden treasure have gained him a lot of enemies.
His only friend is an ambitious young frontiersman named Jim Bowie.

A fun bit of history that reads like a summer blockbuster, in both the best and worse ways.
That would be okay, if the art was stronger. Instead it just further waters down the story.

This needed to either go bigger or be done as a straight historical. It couldn't seem to decide and ended up just 'okay'.

Wanted to like it, but couldn't even finish it. Bad art. Bad dialogue. Bad Story. Ugh.
