Review of The Jewel of the Nile (1985) by Matt C — 15 Jul 2012
The sequel to Romancing the stone does combine the familiar elements: Douglas and Turner arguing while DeVito is trying to con his way through the search for the jewel, which turns out not quite what he may have expected.
Even more so than the original the film tries to be a new Indiana Jones film, which of course it is not. Especially the playful banter always feels a bit forced, but the action is decent enough. The showdown may fall a bit shirt, but it's still an okay piece of entertainment for a sunny afternoon.
