WOW! Whatta thriller!

Rating: 9/10 (3 December 2002)

This film starts out fast and then picks up speed! There is action, drama and suspense throughout nearly all of the film. The viewer is barely able to catch his or her breath and off we go again! Harrison Ford is brilliant and maintains great intensity throughout the entire length of the adventure. And what an adventure they wrote for him to have! The lovely Karen Allen comes along for the ride and gets caught up in the adventure, too. There were three Indiana Jones films made and this one is the best of the lot. It's probably the most believable story, and the pace is, as I said, very fast. The basic story is that the Ark of the Covenant, containing the 10 Commandments, is in danger of being found by the Nazis. Indiana Jones goes on a journey to snatch this prize out from under the collective German noses. There is suspense, just a hint of humor and more action than a 10-ring circus. Steven Spielberg has another notch in his gun with this one. Altogether, a breathtaking achievement!
