If we talk about treasure hunting or exploring ancient sites, we can't ignore everyone's memories of the 'Tomb Raider' series, the timeless 'Indiana Jones' series, and personally, my super favorite 'National Treasure' series. The renowned performances of Angelina Jolie, Harrison Ford, and Nicolas Cage added a lot of color to the entire adventure and treasure hunting stories. However, this Russian-related treasure hunting film can only be described as pale in comparison. The overall performance of the protagonist, Tikhon Zhiznevskiy, tends to be a bit lackluster and fails to highlight the on-the-spot reactions and decisive control needed for a treasure hunt story. Surprisingly, it's the protagonist's dad who, while discussing history, manages to provide swift reasoning when faced with puzzles. This lack of deliberation takes away from the sense of engagement in the audience, making it feel more like storytelling than participating in deduction.
