Ben Finnegan (Matthew McConaughey) is a modern-day treasure hunter who is obsessed with finding several chests of priceless treasure that was lost at sea in 1715. In his quest, Ben has sunk everything he has, his boat and his marriage to Tess(Kate Hudson). Just as Tess begins to rebuild her life, by working aboard a mega-yacht owned by a billionaire (Donald Sutherland). Meanwhile Ben discovers a piece of plate that is part of the missing treasure and much to Tess’ annoyance, he maneuvers himself aboard the billionaires yacht and, using his roguish charm, convinces the tycoon and his spoilt daughter to join him in the pursuit of the treasure. But it’s not an easy task as they are not the only ones after the fortune. Ben’s one-time mentor and a ruthless local gangster are intent on beating Ben to the prize.

An enjoyable film with some good comedy moments and a great cast and some beautiful scenery, definitely a must see, so get your popcorn ready.
