Let's reassess this film shall we?

Rather than thinking of it in the vein of Indiana Jones, let's see it for what it really was... The genesis of the 'Uncharted' video game series.

And to anyone who just watched that film with a pleasant Tom Holland and a limp Mark Wahlberg, then you need to watch this instead.

This is the closest you'll get to a true "Nathan Drake" if it took 15 years to bring Uncharted to our screens.

Little did we know that the best Uncharted film had been made 2 years before the game.

Practical effects, a swashbuckling soundtrack, humour, locations... It has them all. The plot could be a little tighter and Penelope Cruz's accent could be a little less one-dimensional but they're by the by...

This film deserves reappraising.

7.5/10

@porteruk I agree that it's not anything like as bad as most critics' ratings make it out to be. It helps if you have read the Clive Cussler original and can bring that sense of detachment from reality from the book that the story demands. The soundtrack in particular is very good, especially the matching of the title sequence to Dr John. Well worth another look. Much, much better than 'Raise the Titanic', an earlier attempt to bring Dirk Pitt to the screen.

Granted, so far, I've only ever played one Uncharted game, Legacy of Thieves Collection, because so far that's the only one properly ported to PC, so I haven't viewed this movie in that light until *just* now. But you ***nailed*** it: this really does have an Uncharted/Nathan Drake vibe to it.
