Too Much Gold For Only One Magellan

A little, very active action film hunting for treasures. It is well wrapped up, especially the bodies, for a good old family audience. The various codes and stages in this hunt are funny and yet very simple. Rome is the center of this uncentered world and the Philippines or Indonesia or wherever in the Pacific is the real entrance of the cave, like the exit of Inferno by Dante. Everything is so clean, so perfectly unsoiled, unblemished by any word or image that could offend the strictest nuns in the most isolated convent, that we just wonder if this is a real hunt. But it’s fun nevertheless and you will enjoy Tom Holland’s antics, even if he is slightly overdressed for the tropical Pacific.
