    In this cracking jungle-set treasure hunt, director Robert Zemeckis spices up a deliberately old-fashioned matinée adventure with tongue-in-cheek gags, unpredictably clever touches and top-of-the-range action. Kathleen Turner gives an exhilarating performance as the New York novelist who forsakes her cosy Manhattan lifestyle to rescue her sister in the jungles of Colombia. Turner dazzles in a role that proved a career turning point, and there's a wonderful chemistry between her and world-weary co-star Michael Douglas.

    Spoof adventure thriller which takes too long to get going and then finds it has nowhere to go. But commercialÉ

    Although 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom' does it so much better.

    The Water Horse - Legend of the Deep

    Nim's Island

    • 28 Apr 2008

    Another above average children's film from Walden Media, the company behind the Narnia films, The Water Horse and Bridge to Terabithia (not to mention The Seeker). Based on a novel by Australian author Wendy Owen, this is a Robinson Crusoe/Swiss Family Robinson story, crossed with a bit of Romancing the Stone, and a subplot about a mariner struggling to survive after his yacht is capsized by a tropical storm. That leaves his ten-year-old daughter Nim Rusoe (Abigail Breslin) on her own,... Read more
