    Tight. Whip-smart. Clever. Funny.
    What a joy.
    Entertainment for adults.
    I'd love to see Koepp and Soderberg do a few more together.

    If you can handle some over-the-top cartoonish violence, and a couple plot points properly stretching your wilfull suspension, this was a really charming and fun movie that took time to let us care about its characters and build a grounded world for them to begin in.

    ★½

    The logline of this movie is not the movie I saw.
    I had no idea he was an archeologist.
    I had no idea he was looking for a doorway to anything.
    Intellectually, I thought it was about: a man broken by grief loots graves. That's it.

    Apparently the movie didn't get any of its own story across in an understandable way.

    I feel like there were ideas here, but none of it fit together to create an emotionally compelling tapestry of these human beings.

    So effective, so incredibly well made.
