movie review - Uncharted

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

For movie night, The Girl and I watched this harmless action flick. It's about a young man whose brother has disappeared while searching for a lost treasure. He is approached by someone who was working with his brother when he fell off the face of the planet. Can our young hero trust the older, not-as-smart-as-he-thinks former partner of his brother? Will he find any closure for his brother?

Long story short, we learn in a mid-credits scene that the brother is alive. Yes. This thing is a clumsy, thoughtless effort that ruins its promising plot elements and coasts on the star power of the actors that lead it. That those two gentlemen don't really seem to have a lot of chemistry doesn't help.

Not recommended.
