I am not reviewing the book, as some mentioned, since books have rarely translated into film as written. That's what imagination is for. As a movie, I would say that this translates very well. The plot was laid out very deliberately so that it could be easily absorbed. There was suspense that kept building and receding so that the climax was as rewarding to myself as it was to the characters. I would call this the thinking man's Indiana Jones, and it does not disappoint, but don't take my word for it. See for yourself. I'm sure you will agree. Definitely ten notches above the first.
