The Lost City

There’s too many high-profile actors in this film which does very little to enhance the plot. It’s almost as if they needed something to do during the pandemic. It’s a cross between an action film with a romantic comedy, with many people mixed up in the mix. It could be a mockery if the action scenes weren’t so serious, and it’s a shame that the director didn’t capitalise in breaking the fourth wall often enough for it to become a spoof comedy. It just tries too hard to be real. Even the wooing scenes aren’t done hard enough. The antagonist isn’t really believable, and it would be a nicer ending if Sage had been discovered alive during the expedition. It’s a total blend of things that have been done before. It’s a cheesy attempt for ladies to persuade their partners to watch Sandra Bullock in an action film while getting a glimpse of Tatum’s chest.
