A fun, campy semi-remake of Romancing the Stone. An all-star cast moves this adventure along, including Sandra Bullock Channing Tatum, Brad Pitt, and Daniel Radcliffe. Tatum puts out an enjoyable performance, and Radcliffe plays the villain. Pitt enters as the esoteric tough new age guy, again a fun performance. And Bullock suits the role to a T.
“A reclusive romance novelist on a book tour with her cover model gets swept up in a kidnapping attempt that lands them both in a cutthroat jungle adventure.”
Each character fits well, and the differences between the Douglas/Turner film are just enough to keep us watching. A good film, worth the watch for anyone who enjoys fast-moving humorous fun.
