Frank Vincent Dead Most recognised for Sopranos and Goodfellas.

Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Men Tell No Tales / Salazar's Revenge (depending on which title you want to use). All pirates are now idiots with no real abilities or skills who purely get by on random events. Jack Sparrow is a drunken idiot who does not have quick wits, just occasional flashes of not being a moronic pirate. All British naval officers are monomaniacal tyrants lusting after power and with no redeeming qualities. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley have basically 5 minute cameos. It still manages to be a mostly entertaining film, it opens fairly strongly with a bit of setting up the story, followed by an exceptionally silly bank robbery set to familiar music, and then it roams along in a generally engaging popcorn manner. It still doesn't quite have the touch of magic that the first PotC had, but tis a better attempt than Stranger Tides. It has a general running joke between the two main protagonists, one of whom has studied all the myths, legends and curses of the sea and the other being the intelligent woman with a scientific background who keeps being accused of being a witch despire rejecting all non-scientific thoughts of magic, curses, or the undead.
