Review of The Lost City (2022) by Tvjerry — 29 Mar 2022
Sandra Bullock plays the author of romance novels with Channing Tatum as her hunky cover model. When she's kidnapped by a billionaire searching for a lost treasure (Daniel Radcliffe), he sets out to rescue her.
Naturally, it's up to their chemistry to make this movie appeal. Bullock is trying hard for laffs, while Tatum's bumbling character works, thanks' to his amusing charm. Da'Vine Joy Randolph, as the manager, adds a few moments of humor, while Brad Pitt enjoys his swashbuckling cameo.
The entire plot is obvious and their situations often ridiculous, so it's up to the script to add a fresh take. Sadly, it depends more on the actors' abilities than on witty writing. While the pacing never lags, there's not much clever or original to help this Lost City find its comic footing.
