The movie is based on an action-adventure game series of the same name.

One night working at a bar, Nathan (Tom Holland) is visited by treasure hunter Victor Sully Sullivan played by Mark Wahlberg.

He ends up becoming the narrative plot device for the film that drives the story forward, explains the plan and still, someone remains off-screen most of the time.

Mark even makes a remark saying he has a “bad back” and can’t be caught running after people.

Their plan is to complete Nathan’s brother Sam’s incomplete expedition to find “the biggest treasure that’s never been found” which in this case is a lot of gold tucked away in some corner of the world on a lost ship.

Tom Holland’s dedication to continuing to build upon his career as an action star is a clear motivator for his performance in this film.

The chemistry between cast members is palpable, with Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg making a surprisingly fantastic father/son comedic duo.

Sophia Ali proves herself as the perfect casting for a young and dynamic Chloe Fraser. Tati Gabrielle also shines as a fantastic antagonist.

Despite some additional pacing issues, director Ruben Fleischer brings viewers a film that manages to entertain for most of its run. The VFX lives upto the expectation and rest of the technical aspects are also good.

Rating: 3.5/5
