A Keeper

Rating: 10/10 (29 May 2007)

Its what a film of this kind should be about but it was well into the first hour I realised it was a comedy! The scene in the library where all the shelves fall like a stack of dominoes was priceless-amazing what trouble they go to just for a few minutes of nonsense. You had what might be called the serious entry into the story-the events of ancient Egypt where they buried people alive and went in for extreme punishments for stuff like adultery. I enjoyed watching the bugs thrown into the coffin where the adulterer had been wrapped up as a mummy and this is one of the cornerstones of horror-burying alive. The special effects were a case of no expense spared for a movie which was not ruined by foul language when there would have been cause for it with all that mayhem. You didn't think of all the impossibilities like endless supplies of bullets,fires underground which would zap the oxygen Thank God for artistic license You just enjoyed a movie which was entertaining
