With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for fans of a good con and anyone with a bit of wanderlust. The fun is in the planning, the double-crosses and the moment it all goes sideways. Fans of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre or The Man Who Would Be King should feel right at home.
- The mood
- Exciting.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 2 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1929: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
Jewel thieves pull a heist on a diamond mining operation in Africa and take the foreman hostage before escaping into the Kalahari Desert, but when they get lost, the foreman must take charge and save them.
