“The Lost City “is a film that seeks to rest on the star power of its cast members. It includes not just Bullock but her own supporting actors as well. The film is the kind of action-adventure romantic film we haven’t experienced in decades. It doesn’t waste any time and sticks to the point.

What's It About

The movie lasts for 92 minutes. Loretta Sage (Bullock), is the author of a successful romance novel. Her life has always been defined by loneliness after her beloved husband died. She seems to know a lot about a lost city, and this drew the attention of a billionaire (Daniel Radcliffe) who is willing to do anything to find this lost treasure.

Loretta has a cunning edge and proves far more capable than her captor realized. She is not alone, for Alan (Channing Tatum), her handsome himbo who models on her covers, sets out to save her, causing mischief and romantic intrigue. The story has a background of danger from the jungle and on a forgotten island.

Watch It Or Not

"The Lost City" isn't a bad film. Whether it's more Pitt or more ribaldry, you're left wanting.

Tatum’s character is a meta reflection of Lovemore and Dash -- they exist on the pages, but you won't fully see it in the film. The audience gets only to see small tastes of what’s to come, but without seeing more of their mettle-testing journey.

A more adult take on "The Lost City" would have been better and a far cry from an Indiana Jones or the "Romancing the Stone" clone. I would have liked the idea of something more mature than repeated use of “throb.”
