Uncharted

This big screen adaptation of the popular video game franchise is filled with action, mystery, and humor. Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg work well together, both in action and in a battle of wits, easily bringing the vibe of the adventure games to life. The movie is a non-stop adventure from start to finish and will quickly captivates viewers, regardless of familiarity with the franchise, which makes Uncharted a must see for fans of fun action flicks.
