I benefit from having never played the video game for which this is based off of. Therefore, I came to it with zero expectations.
The plot centers on a young bartender and con artist named Nathan Drake, who wants to find an amazing treasure that his long lost older brother was trying to locate years earlier.
He gets set on his journey with the help of a shady older character named Victor Sullivan, who once worked with Nathan's brother on trying to find the treasure. On their adventure, they encounter another professional thief named Chloe Frazer, all while being pursued by some one dimensional bad guys with a lot of resources.
If you are looking for complex characters, a faithful adaptation of the beloved video game franchise, or large-scale action sequences grounded in reality, don't watch this movie. You will be disappointed.
However, if you just want to watch a fun little over the top adventure story with twists and turns, characters who can't be trusted, and crazy action sequences, then this should be a nice diversion.
