An average movie

Back in the 80's, Harrison Ford was one of the most amazing actors and most of his movies ended up being some huge success (Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Blade Runner (1982), Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983), Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)). Of course, those days are long gone but I still have a weak spot for him and I try to watch his more recent movies whenever I get the opportunity. And indeed, the fact that Ford is not the star he used to be is pretty obvious when watching this flick. Where should I start? The story was rather preposterous and Ford was completely unbelievable but, still, thanks to his eternal charisma, he managed to make the whole thing still kind of watchable and, surprisingly, I was rather entertained throughout the whole duration. It does help when the bad guy is portrayed by the always dependable Paul Bettany (what happened to him actually? It seems that he never really managed to break through in a big way). To conclude, it remains an average, unoriginal and predictable flick but it was still rather entertaining and it is actually worth a look, especially if you are a fan of Harrison Ford like me.
