Bargain bin DVD purchase

Rating: 3/10 (17 October 2008)

But at £5, it wasn't a bargain. The film obviously tries to take from Indiana Jones, but fails miserably. Whereas the Indy films had great characters, plot and action, this film has none of those. A decent cast struggle with such awful dialogue and plot, it made me wonder why they had agreed to it in the first place. A sub DaVinci Code clues/puzzles line is so insipid, and wrapped up in the mediocre, done-so-many-times-before hero gets girl, has a sidekick who provides silly lines, villain (not a very good one) gets comeuppance and (quite ridiculous ending) heroes all get very rich. If you are expecting anything like Raiders, you will be sadly disappointed. If you are pre-teen, you might get a little fun out of it, but otherwise, this is a poorly made, badly constructed and lazily delivered film.
