Okay, the heroine isn't blonde....but she acts like one a bit too much here.
The premise of the film is actually very good. The story unfolded fairly well, not too slow, but...
Our heroine was an idiot for someone who is supposed to be so smart.
Spoiler alert...
Friend warns her about a bad man. Stay away. So, what does she do...she storms into his office and confronts him about things - twice.
The object of everyone's attention is the Ring of Sophia, some mythical ring once owned by Sophia, a royal in the 1830s. The ring is lost during the war. Is the ring the museum our girl works for the real deal?
Well, that's part of the mystery.
And, as the story unfolds, the real villain is well hidden from us. But clues are there. We missed them until the reveal. But it made sense. And thinking back, the clues were there in front of us, of cleverly disguised.
So, a decent story, but our heroine is pretty stupid for such a smart girl. And it isn't even love that makes her stupid. It's her own foolhardiness. Yep.
Kudos for no bad language. Yep, Canadian film. Love that they can write decent dialogue without all the profanity Hollywood seems to think is required these days.
Wanted to give it four stars, but the foolish girl just wore thin by the last reel. Sigh.
