Let's be realistic.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Without a doubt, it is not a blockbuster movie, but it has managed to create a quality film with low resources, good talent and experience. A great achievement for the beginning of several new film agency in the world with great stories.
After finding a chest of the missing treasure of Sir Francis Drake in the Western Sahara desert, the company turns on Mave Adams (Monica West) and leaves her for near dead in the desert. The film then flashes 4 years...which is not 4 years later, but the length of time Jack Riordan (Aaron Costa Ganis) has spent in a Belgium prison for illegal archaeological digging. I had trouble with both of those details, but continued. It seems Mave's brother Matthew (Christopher Redman) of Adam's Exploration has taken over the company as CEO and has bumped her out. Mave hires Jack to help her recover the treasure stolen from her in the desert (we saw that coming) for most of the rest of the feature minus a few details.This is similar to your Indian Jones type of films except in modern times. Aaron Costa Ganis is no Harrison Ford and as such his character was a let down. Monica West failed to give her character the needed personality and I don't know what she is doing in the desert with her skin that pale. The film lacked engaging dialogue and quality actors.It has been speculated some of Drake's treasure may be buried in Marion, California. I could have bought into that. Western Sahara is a bit far fetched. The ending leads into a sequel for our twosome treasure hunters which is in production.Guide: F-word, implied sex, brief nudity (Shuna Iijima)
Nothing much to say. Shame IMDb killed the message boards and we cannot has discussions on why this movie is good beyond reviews.It's a good movie that is small budget. A prisoner gets hired to search for gold by a very beautiful woman. Things unravel and the adventure begins. There are a few twists and some nice action. I found it a bit long.Movie is a 7 out of 10. Recommended to kill some time. I did again find it a bit to long.This has action, adventure and is a good watch.Shame IMDb killed ideas.
Well I Watched this movie, Just About 10 Mins Ago, I finished. And You Can Tell That They Had to work within a limited Budget. But The Scenes Were Really well Shot, As well As Clever Use of High Definition Camera Drones. And The Actors Really Gave it there All. The Villain Was Particularly Well Do(though A bit Cliché' lol)
