Review 4K Movie

The untimely death of the action-adventure genre is showing signs of life again? And with such a powerful cast? Well... Let's see' - I thought, contemplating a good trailer. And so, just the other day, I finally managed to appreciate all the power of the Nee Brothers' creative endeavors. Here we go in order.

What the movie is аbout: the author (or is it "author"?) of the popular love-adventure novels, Loretta (Sandra Bullock), is kidnapped by the evil and wealthy Abigail Fairfax (Daniel Radcliffe), eager to find the treasure described in the last of Loretta's published novels. The honor of rescuing a damsel in distress, falls to a handsome Alan (Channing Tatum), who is also the face of the cover of Loretta's novels ...

It would seem that we have before us a wonderful plot, unequivocally hinting at a cheerful action and hilarious hilarity. But no. Two thirds of the movie are deadly boredom, where instead of action - wandering in three palm trees, instead of humor the dialogues are strictly narrative, and instead of common sense there gapes a black hole.

The main problem of The Lost City is the script idiocy which has produced one of the worst villains in cinematic history. Abigail Fairfax by the Ni brothers is a clinical moron with moron motivation who is played by Daniel Radcliffe in strict accordance with the acting task as himself from Illusion of Deception 2. Redcliffe, by the way, is good: he plays it professionally for every dollar in his fee.

On the background of such an alternatively gifted villain, the remaining characters in 'The Lost City' (also, by the way, not shiny) look quite chipper. Another thing is that the screenwriters have not invented worthy activities for them, could not put into their mouths interesting dialogues. All that the Nee brothers' group of scriptwriters had imagination to do was to alternate worn-out cliches with recitation of the modern agenda. Sadly, to all appearances, they didn't even bother to give the famous actors a competent acting task, as a result (besides the aforementioned Radcliffe) Sandra Bullock is a boring woman in her forties with no zest, Davaine Joy Randolph is a typical comic relief, and Channing Tatum is a dull version of Super Mike. All the characters are secondary, all the acting is sluggish, all the professional acting baggage was not in demand.

However, there is a honeycomb in this tar barrel: Brad Pitt, who played his small role brilliantly and mega professionally. He rocked it, as they say, for all the money in the world.

So, actually, let's summarize.

"The Lost City" is another potentially interesting story, ruined by a mediocre script. Watch it just for the charismatic lead actors: Bullock, Tatum, Pitt and Radcliffe. I personally haven't seen them all in a long time. It was a joy for me. For all those indifferent to the work of the aforementioned artists, I recommend spending your time on something more rewarding.
