A briliáns de zárkózott írónő, Loretta Sage (Sandra Bullock) pályája során mindig egzotikus helyekről írt a népszerű romantikus kalandregényeiben, melyek címlapján a Dash nevű hőst megjelenítő, jóképű borítómodell, Alan (Channing Tatum) feszít, aki erre a karakterre tette fel az életét. Miközben épp új könyvét promotálja Alannel, Lorettát elrabolja egy különc milliárdos (Daniel Radcliffe), mert azt reméli, hogy az írónő elvezeti őt a legutóbbi könyvében található ősi elveszett város kincséhez. Alan bizonyítani szeretné, hogy a való életben is hős tud lenni, nem csak a könyvek lapjain, így nekivág, hogy megmentse a nőt. A nagyszabású dzsungelkalandba pottyant furcsa párnak össze kell dolgoznia, hogy túléljék az elemek és a gonosztevők csapásait, és megtalálják az ősi kincset, mielőtt örökre elveszne. (UIP-Duna Film)

The Lost City is a well calculated and refined movie that is inoffensive from a commercial point of view and is also quite unexceptional. Sandra Bullock's stony stiff upper lip and perfectly smoothed cheeks distracted me from the plot, as did the utterly pointless villain played by Daniel Radcliffe. However, he does his best despite the bad casting choice. You would be better off watching the excellent Romancing the Stone again, as The Lost City is just polished commercial crap you can easily do without.

The Lost City seemed to play out the pages of Loretta Sage's novels on the screen (with a certain amount of exaggeration), you get both action and romance, all spiced up with adventure and a dose of humour, although they perhaps kept the comic level too low-key (the black-humour bit with the dead woman in the car, however, was very funny). In the end, this is a laid-back and predictable one-off with a likeable cast that woefully missed the potential of the characters Coach and Beth.

The Lost City is ultimately an inoffensive one-off that entertains most of the time with its stupid characters with their stupid humour, but I admit I'm not that enchanted and was expecting a much bigger charge. Sandra Bullock is as good as always in similar comedies and Brad Pitt and Daniel Radcliffe on the other hand are pretty bland, but it's all pulled up by Channing Tatum, or rather his amusing character of a complete goofball who takes care of most of the laughs, drops decent one-liners and is simply the classic archetype of the "funny buffoon". On the other hand, the story is a classic cliché, the logic is often lacking, the running time of two hours is quite a stretch and overall the film doesn't have as much charm as I would have expected. It's a nice time and a decent fun on one viewing, but it's not exactly a world hit either. Better average.

An enjoyable spring film packed with great actors, a fine setting and effective humour. I didn't expect much from Lost City and it could be said it is a spring surprise that combines several elements and genres in one, and it all works well together. Sandra Bullock is traditionally excellent as a sexy and smart woman. She plays a successful writer who is kidnapped by a mad millionaire (Daniel Radcliffe) because he thinks she her book describes the path to a lost city and hidden treasure. Sandra is about to be rescued by a bumbling dork played by Channing Tatum (quite possibly his best role ever). He hires Navy Seals Tracker Jack Trainer (Brad Pitt), who deserves his own movie, an unreal badass who has one of the best action scenes of the entire film (surprisingly solid fights!). Plot-wise it's a bit cliched and predictable, but it doesn't really matter that much as the chemistry between Bullock and Tatum works great (their banter is very entertaining, classy, intelligent and never descends into profanity). The whole film has a nice pace with fine action and a decent amount of humour. The jungle setting could have been used better (there are no animals or danger there, unfortunately), and the finale is weaker than the beginning and middle, but I still had a great time and will happily repeat the film. Story 3/5, Action 4/5, Humor 4/5, Violence 1/5, Fun 4/5 Music 3/5, Visuals 4/5, Atmosphere 3/5, Suspense35/5, Emotion 3/5, Actors 4/5. 7.5/10.

I love those concepts where a film first makes a huge joke out of genre tropes, then becomes one and gets carried away on the silliness of all the clichés, dialogue and characters. The Lost City goes all-in in this regard, and although the over-the-top self-aware 'I know I'm over-the-top' humour gets annoying after a while, it manages to keep its face. Whether it's because of the boundless adventurous naivety, where everything is a reference to something else in the service of a deliberately unrealistic plot twist, or because of all those A-list actors having so much fun. Bullock is naturally great like in the old days, Tatum enjoys the anti-heroic narcissist more than he did in 21 Jump Street, Radcliffe entertains every second and Pitt reigns supreme in a role that would kick Cliff Booth's ass (though he'd probably lose more than ten percent in the process – inside joke). It’s not something I’d want to see a second time, but I'd love a spin-off with Jack Trainer. 65 %
