Good slam-bang actioner

Rating: 9/10 (4 May 2001)

The best "Raiders"-style movie since the original Raiders, a whole lot of fun that never really lets up. Brendan Fraser is devil-may-care adventurer returning to lost Egyptian city with attractive Weisz and her nebbish brother (Hannah) in tow, only to run into much more than he bargained for. Fraser may be limited, but his style fits what's asked for here, and Weisz is solid. Loads of good special effects that don't detract from the plot. Definitely worth a rent.
