7/10
Indiana Jones, chick flick version. Pretty good.

Warning: Spoilers
MINOR PLOT SPOILERS BELOW.

OK, so my summary is a troll, but I maintain that it's accurate. Romantic setting, romantic theme. Could be Romancing the Stone, could be Indiana Jones, could be Star Wars, but it's this movie instead: pretty brat falls for initially repulsive scoundrel over the course of a wild adventure. Scoundrel turns out to be a hero in disguise; brat turns out to be a sweetheart. Of course. Maybe it's obvious that the leading man and leading lady end up together but just in case, you were warned.

Predictable romantic plot aside, the movie was quite entertaining. As a Magnum P.I. fan I have to say Tom Selleck influenced me to like the film. He did a great job. Ms. Armstrong is no Hollywood sex bomb but she makes a good leading lady in the role of strong willed spoiled brat turned strong willed cutie. Great scenery during the voyage. Bentik and his assistant are pretty funny too. Nice battle scenes throughout. All in all, a winner for an afternoon cable movie or in-flight movie, an OK rental.
