Tom Holland's star power can't keep 'Uncharted' on the right course
CNN
Tom Holland puts his considerable charm to the test in "Uncharted," a movie built around the Spider-Man star and wild aerial acrobatics. Based on a PlayStation game, it's better seen than heard, but the action looks good on an Imax screen, which was clearly the modest goal while seeking to approximate the tone of something like "National Treasure."
Clearly recognizing its best sequence, the film begins with Holland's Nathan Drake hanging on for dear life tethered to the floating cargo of an airborne plane, providing an adrenaline rush before flashing back to explain how and why he got there.
The "why" is beyond basic, with Nathan enlisted by fortune hunter Victor "Sully" Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to assist him in pursuing billions in gold legendarily hidden by Ferdinand Magellan 500 years ago.
