Just a glimpse of what passes of as humour in this movie: a character wiping her running nose on the sleeve of another, people slipping from tree branches, Chan getting trapped with a lion in the car and asking the beast, “Do you understand English?” This film made me nostalgic, because we used to crack better jokes in high school. Trying – it must be said – a little too hard.
When it’s not being monotonous, it’s trying to be funny. In fact, this snoozefest masquerading as a film is an exercise in tedium.

In the chaos, Jones – a member from Jack’s team who is more a treasure hunter than an archaeologist smuggles away with a diamond artifact. However, they are interrupted by a group of mercenaries led by Randall who steals the treasure and leaves them there to die.
