The Lost City (2022)
5/10
Another treasure hunt
27 November 2022
The simple story about a writer and a male model getting involved in an exotic adventure didn't have many surprises if you saw other adventure comedies before. It feels a bit like an episode from "Relic Hunter" with 100 times the budget, but not necessarily better ideas. The count of funny scenes against unfunny scenes is at best 50/50. The movie was okay to watch once but doesn't shout for repeated viewings.

The actors are mostly good. Sandra Bullock is slightly older than me and still doing action movies in a tight suit - hats off to her. Channing Tatum does not have a good chemistry with her. Daniel Radcliffe was better than I expected, a good parody of a Bond villain with big money and gadgets. Da'Vine Joy Randolph as the writer's agent, never giving up the search for her, was a good choice as well. Brad Pitt steals the show in the (too) few scenes he's in.
