Film Review – The Lost City

Sandra Bullock has spent the last few years making different kinds of movies, focusing on drama (“The Unforgivable”) and suspense (“Bird Box”). She’s stepped away from her usual frothy screen personality, but the vacation from more interesting acting ends with “The Lost City,” which returns Bullock to a comedic part, trying to make magic with co-star Channing Tatum. Actual jokes are hard to find in the feature, which basically mixes mild action with riff-happy performances, with the production trying to remake 1984’s “Romancing the Stone” for a new generation. Laughs are scarce here, along with charm from Bullock and Tatum, who embark on a tedious journey into improvisation while the supporting cast steps up to become the most appealing element in this bland adventure, which seriously lacks excitement.
