I learned one thing from this movie. Mark Walburg is NOT Nicolas Cage.
I am taking time to write a review which I havnt dont in years , for the mear fact that there is so many things wrong with it that it intrigues me.
I am not a writer but even I could do a bettter job than the writer os this trash.
It looks like it was rushed and the scenes slapped together on haste without any thought because they just wanted to make a quick buck.
I dont remember watchinf a movie where I said as many times as I did thing like...:" Well that doesnt make sense" ..."Thats not possible"..."Wait a minute, werent they just".... "WOW! They put no thought whatsoever in this didnt they" ..."Now we're beyond stupid"..." If they want us to believe that whats next, Is Nathan going to fall from a plane and sprout wings because a special chant he just remembered"
Yes, the writing is horrific, but not as bad as the casting.
I have no Idea what Mark Walburg is doing in this movie in a role that doesnt fit him AT ALL.
Then there is Antonio Banderas who has a few sinister lines and then is kiiled in what I think was meant to be a surprising plot twist , only one problem....at this point NOBODY CARES! As a matter a fact KILL ALL THE CHARECTERS AND END THIS MOVIE.....please.
Even the sub plot ( At least I thought it was a sub plot) was what happened to Nathans brother Sam who disappears from his life in the opening scene for reason I still dont understand)
I did have a small interest in that and couldnt wait for the predictable reunion after Nather believes his brother is dead.
BUT IT NEVER HAPPENS! ....uggg...
Then there is a black woman with white hair ( WOW! SCARY) who is the villian after killing Antonio Banderas, and we are supposed to believe she is dangerous.
Soooo...to convince us she is dangerous they have her favorite weapon as a knife which she clearly has no idea how to use. They didnt even take the time to teach her how to use a knife in a knife fight, so everything she does looks like laugable slow motion.
One review wrote " If you like Indiana Jones and National Treasure you will enjoy this...
WRONG! If you liked those movies you will WANT YOUR MONEY BACK FOR THIS EMBARRESING ATTEMPT TO RESEMBLE THEM EVEN IN THE SLIGHTEST WAY.
BAD WRITING, BAD CASTING, JUST...........................bad.
The only bright spot ( as a child, my mother always told be to look at the positive) if I must name one , was Tom Holland who played Nathan Drake.
The kid can act and prbably has a future if he stays far away from scripts like this.
In summary...
Bad acting, bad writing, bad casting... seems to be slapped together quickly just to make a buck
