The movie gets a major thumb down in the norwegian newspaper Aftenposten, but the reviewer loves Keith's performance: [oslopuls.no] (this is only the part where Keith is mentioned).

"Den eneste som viser tegn til liv, er Keith Richards. Den rullende steinen er hentet inn som Sparrows far, og gjør en svært kort, men anstendig opptreden. At han i en og samme scene opptrer både med gitar og banjo, viser at det også med slike budsjetter er plass til spesialdefekter."

In English:
"The only one in the movie who shows signs of life is Keith Richards. The Rolling stone has been brought in as Sparrow's father, and does a brief, but decent performance. Playing a guitar and a banjo in the same scene sequence - that shows that there is room for special "defects" in movies with a budget like this.

"special defects" I love that . I'll remember that one for commenting on all the crap CGI dominated movies we're fed on these days.

The whole Pirate episode will soon start going down in Keith's stories about Keith about "when I carried that bloody flic.."

"...no longer shall you trudge 'cross my peaceful mind."

LOL,

Wow. There's a line I never thought I would read:

"The only one in the movie who shows signs of life is Keith Richards."

Tickled me when the director described Keith as "a kind of strange insect...sharp as a tack but living in an alternative universe "

Almost as funny as that reviewer a couple of years ago who described him as "...some kind of Goblin".

>> Tickled me when the director described Keith as "a kind of strange insect...
sharp as a tack but living in an alternative universe" <<

smile: i liked that too. the director's original statement was that Keith is a "lizard monk creature" -
which i finally figured out is a character in some video game, but i guess he had to rephrase it
since it's not a Disney product. :E

According to this review he pinched one of the specially made guitars...
