The Lost City

The Lost City follows a romance novel writer who is forced by an eccentric billionaire to help him find an ancient treasure, while a foolish model does his best to save her.

The movie has a very tropic thunder vibe, with Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum having great comedic energy.
Tatum’s charmingly idiotic Alan brings a very likeable version of the classic dumb model arc-type, that actually has some depth which goes beyond being a walking punchline, while Bullock’s straight man to both him and the villain helps sell the comedy.
The pair work well together and the witty writing help elevates what could have been a tired premise.

Daniel Radcliff is a brilliant villain too; this is another trope we’ve seen in other movies, but Radcliff brings a certain energy that it’s hard to say I’ve seen performed the same way. His increasing frustration leading to the climax makes him both threatening and funny.

CONCLUSION

It’s not a very deep movie or too original, but the performances and writing make for a funny and entertaining movie.

Hardly the next comedy classic, but a very enjoyable trip to the cinema.
It’s a solid recommendation, and if that doesn’t sell you on the movie,
it has Channing Tatum’s butt in.
And while I’m not into guys, I gotta conceded,
it’s a nice butt.
