He can’t rise to the surface because of being in a deep dive, if he does the pressure difference will kill him.

FINDER$ KEEPER$

Will (Himesh Patel) and his expectant wife Paige (Lily James) have just moved to the small coastal Island Town of Providence, South Carolina. Will is starting a job as a Police Officer in the town’s Police Department. Will heads in for his first day on the job and after meeting Police Captain Murphy (Uzo Aduba), he is assigned to be Officer Terry Brogan’s partner. Terry (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) has been with the police force for sixteen years and takes Will on a tour of the Island, starting with Tilly’s Coffee Shop where they can get free coffee. Then to Al’s Diner where they can get a free donut and a coffee.

Then Terry drives to a house where he tells Will that he needs to step inside and see his Chinese girlfriend briefly, and if he sees a middle aged Chinese businessman to honk the horn very loudly. As Will is waiting a call comes over the radio for a reported burglary. Will responds and tries to get Will’s attention with the horn to no avail. As Will pounds on the door, the woman’s husband comes home and Will decides he should leave and answer the call himself. He pulls up to the address they received the call from, draws his weapon and enters.

Virginia (Traci Lords) is wearing wireless headphones in the kitchen chopping carrots, when Will sees her he accidently discharges his weapon but misses Virginia. Furious that he shot at her, Virginia attacks Will and in the struggle falls with Virginia on his back. She crashes into the wooden dining room table and it splinters and impales Virginia, who instantly dies. Terry arrives immediately after to find out that Will, on his first day on the job, has just accidently killed the wife of the most well known businessmen on the island. Wallace Chetlo (Tim Blake Nelson), owner of Chetlo’s Shrimp Company, supplies all the seafood on the island and is one of the most successful and influential people on the island.

As Terry and Will try to make sense of what happened, Terry accidently kicks open a wicker basket and discovers it is full of stacks of cash. After looking at the cash, they hatch a plan to take the money and make it look like a burglary. That will get them in the clear of being involved in a homicide and they decide to hide the cash and sit on it until things blow over way down the line. They trash the house, get their alibi’s in order, wipe the scene clear of their presence and head down the road to pull over a vehicle and write a ticket so they have a concrete time alibi.

Which opens up a Pandora’s box of events that no-one sees coming. There is a witness who they find out was in the house at the time of the unintended killing of Virginia. Who is he? Where is he? Why was a million dollars in cash in the house to begin with? Is Virginia’s husband Wallace innocent? Or is their an extra-marital affair behind the curtain? Did the cops stumble onto a conspiracy involving Murder, Adultery, Insurance Policies, Hitmen and Greedy People and in doing so become Greedy people themselves??

That is where the journey turns into a web of deceit and double crossing by half the people on the island. It is a little bit of Fargo, a dash of A Simple Plan and a Pinch of The Ice Harvest brewed up into one wicked cauldron of deceit and greed. It was a nice surprise to see Tim Blake Nelson and Jim Gaffigan in two hilarious roles. Tim as the innocent man who just lost his wife to an unknown murderer in his own house and Jim as “The Irishman”, the competition to Tim’s co-conspirator, the Columbian. Nobody is whom they seem on the surface once you start digging and they realize there is a tremendous amount of money involved. Greedy People!

It is funny, it is violent, it is a whodunit and why caper full of action and misdeeds that draws everyone deeper down a rabbit hole from which they cannot escape. It is a fun, action packed and hilarious ride deep into the abyss of Greed, with twists and turns you just don’t expect.

Is it worth a watch?

Heck Yes!

Uncharted

2022 Sony Pictures

Rated: PG-13

Length: 1 hr 56min

Action ~ Adventure

Directed by: Ruben Fleischer

Starring: Tom Holland, Mark Wahlberg, Sophia Ali, Tati Gabrielle and Antonio Banderas.

Fortune Favors The Bold

FROM SONY PICTURES:

Street-smart Nathan Drake (Tom Holland) is recruited by seasoned treasure hunter Victor “Sully” Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to recover a fortune amassed by Ferdinand Magellan and lost 500 years ago by the House of Moncada. What starts as a heist job for the duo becomes a globe-trotting, white-knuckle race to reach the prize before the ruthless Santiago Moncada (Antonio Banderas), who believes he and his family are the rightful heirs. If Nate and Sully can decipher the clues and solve one of the world’s oldest mysteries, they stand to find $5 billion in treasure and perhaps even Nate’s long-lost brother…but only if they can learn to work together.

FROM SONY PLAYSTATION:

From award-winning developer Naughty Dog, the UNCHARTED series is a cinematic action-adventure experience uncovering historical mysteries while traveling through varied and stunningly rendered environments. Join Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer across the globe as they confront warmongers and mercenaries, unite with former colleagues, uncover forgotten histories and tackle their deepest fears to forge their legacy.

Nathan Drake

A renowned man of adventure – and mystery – Nathan Drake is a roguish explorer who’s perpetually lured by the irresistible promise of adventure, fortune and glory. Although his past is far more complicated than his carefree approach to the world (and his own safety) implies, he’s an undeniably dynamic adventurer capable of immense greatness, no matter what challenge he faces. However, is Nathan able to make peace with his past and determine what he’s willing to sacrifice in order to find happiness in his future?

Chloe Frazer

If you need someone who can talk, shoot, act or drive her way out of a sticky situation, the notorious and charismatic treasure-hunter Chloe Frazer is the one to call.

Renowned for her resourcefulness while under pressure and vast archeological knowledge, she’s an intelligent survivor who’s unafraid to acknowledge her limits. Although Chloe is remarkably pragmatic and resilient in the face of danger, she must conquer her greatest challenge: confronting her past to forge her legacy.

Victor Sullivan

Nathan Drake’s partner, oldest friend, and father figure, Victor “Sully” Sullivan is a seasoned explorer who’s well-connected in the illicit antiquities trade. Although he’s a consummate conman, Sully becomes progressively kinder and more compassionate throughout his adventures. When he’s not hatching plans for the next adventure, he’s known for cracking jokes, reminiscing on his romantic exploits (we’ll take his word for it) and protecting his loved ones.

THE REVIEW:

I have seen this quite a few times since it came out. I re-watched as it just showed up on Amazon Prime so I could review it. I have never seen the PlayStation Games that this movie is based upon, so I can’t judge it from that perspective. Judging it on it’s own merits, I think it is a fun Action Adventure Movie in the same vein as The Indiana Jones Movies. It reminds me of Red Notice with Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot.

Honestly it falls right into that category with Indiana Jones, Red Notice, The Lost City, National Treasure, Jumanji, Tomb Raider and Romancing The Stone. I liked Tom Holland as Drake, again I can’t compare him to the game version of Drake. I liked Mark Wahlberg as Sully and I really liked Sophia Ali as Chloe. Antonio Banderas was a good evil Rich kid shutting out his father over money. Tati Gabrielle as Jo Braddock was well done, this was her movie debut and I really liked her in this. Have to look for her in the future.

The way the movie ends it completely sets itself up for a sequel involving Sam, Nathan’s brother. And there are two more scenes as the credits start rolling. If you quit watching when the credits roll, you’ll miss them. The other one shows Nathan and Sully dealing with another Treasure Hunter over a mysterious map. Another Adventure? That scene ends with a complete cliff hanger…Who did they run into?

There is officially a sequel in the works and word has it that Sony intends for Uncharted to be a Movie Franchise. There is an Uncharted 2 in the works and as of right now the script is in development. The biggest obstacle to seeing the sequel anytime soon is that Tom Holland is currently filming Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey and then he has another Spiderman Movie to film before he can film the sequel. So it might be a couple of years yet before we get to see it, but it is coming.

I would recommend this if you haven’t seen it, it is a great action adventure movie full of Treasure hunting. I’m a fan now and I look forward to seeing the rest of the franchise. Bring on the sequel and the popcorn!
