This biopic based on Errol Flynn’s autobiography depicts Flynn's roguish early life in Australia before he became an internationally famed actor and celebrity. In those days he was an adventurer, opium smuggler, gambler, street fighter, womanizer, and gold prospector. A film that is at once biography and homage to old Hollywood's action-adventure movies.

What are critics saying?
Efficiently engineered by veteran Aussie director Russell Mulcahy (“Highlander,” “Razorback”) to achieve a hugely satisfying balance of seriocomic action sequences and sometimes boisterous, sometimes sentimental male bonding.
Los Angeles Times by Kimber Myers
With its incoherent, episodic script, In Like Flynn lacks the worth of even a minor Flynn film.
The Guardian by Luke Buckmaster
This is a fun film constructed in a smart way: an anti-high art picture that happily prioritises embellishing legend over recreating life.
The Hollywood Reporter by Neil Young
Russell Mulcahy's In Like Flynn triumphs as a disgracefully entertaining romp that packs an unexpected emotional wallop.
In Like Flynn would probably benefit from lowered “cut-rate Indiana Jones” expectations. But Mulcahy is too visual (a music video vet) and visceral a director to not lift them, just a bit, in the best of those early scenes, before the weary screenplay limited supply of charisma in the cast let him and the movie down.
