Two thieves and a disgraced special agent find themselves thrown together to find Cleopatra's three bejeweled eggs.
Director Rawson Marshall Thurbe delivers a never ending self aware, criminal comedy hi jinx and shenanigans part pink panther, part Indiana Jones, all twists and scores.
Leads Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot are perfect in this mindlessly slick, fast-paced action thriller. Yes, it's derivative, laced with clichés pointless twists but it breezily skips along like the likes of The Mummy (1999), The Tourist, mixed with the National Treasure films. With a cameo and Ed Sheeran you know who this is aimed at.
With music by Steve Jablonsky, reminiscent of a James Bond score, modern tracks are thrown in for good measure. As with the film itself it tries to tick every box and hit every demographic.
Overall, fun, fast-paced and frequently amusing, Rawson offers a sickly sweet competent film, you'll either love it or hate it.
