The lost city
The lost city
Popular fictional adventure writer Loretta Sage (Sandra Bullock) is experiencing a midlife crisis in her personal and professional life. She's lonely and depressed, even though her spokeswoman Beth (Da'Vine Joy Randolph) is doing more with her neck bent, and the idea of writing another book There is none. Loretta reluctantly goes on a book tour with her handsome and muscular cover model, Alan (Channing Tatum), but is soon kidnapped by wealthy businessman Abigail Fairfax (Daniel Radcliffe) and he is real. There is, unraveling the only treasure that helps him find it, it's Radcliffe. Alain decides to save the woman he secretly longs for, and goes on a journey to save her despite her lack of survival skills.
It's an old story (for treasure hunting), and there are some innovations in how Aaron and Adam Nee do it. As the setting moves into the jungle, our viewers are also wiped out, ruthless, sometimes dangerous, and mostly drawn into entertaining and childish adventures. And it's the pinnacle of this quirky escape, and despite being over-qualified and over-mature in such a role, it has greatly benefited from many star actors.
Obviously it's a lot of fun for them all to play on-screen avatars, but there's little certainty about what they're made for. Thankfully, there are more real places than special effects. This has always been welcomed by fake computer graphics these days. The first half has a moment of laughter and an impressive cameo from Brad Pitt as a Jack trainer for the CIA agent who turned from the former Navy's seal to the CIA. There are some shockers here, but when the second act rolls back, the mundane text begins to buckle. The goofy romance between Brock and Tatum is completely unconvincing but entertaining, and the quaint cinematography is pleasing to the eye.
Sandra Bullock is compelling and powerful in her character as a middle-aged novelist, and Tatam looks little by little as a desirable mass longing to be known as more than just a cover model. The two actors work well as a unit. Da'Vine Joy Randolph's brute force publicity can become a bit annoying after a while, and like a few other character actors, it's full of clichés. It's hard to imagine Daniel Radcliffe as a relentless businessman who can do anything to find lost treasures. But he still looks cute and handsome.
Overall, The Lost City is a fairly practical action-adventure comedy with plenty of star power and stunning visuals. This should be enough to make a one-time watch
