A blockbuster based on a popular video game franchise tops the DVD releases for the week of May 10.
"Uncharted": A young pickpocket/bartender gets recruited for the adventure of a lifetime, hunting down Magellan's gold, in this swashbuckling action film featuring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg.
"While 'Uncharted' should be a rip-roaring adventure, it neither rips nor roars," writes Tribune News Service critic Katie Walsh in her review. "Instead, it’s a rather basic travelogue through various far-flung locations, filled with riddles, puzzles, symbols, keys and historical fun facts, like a 'Da Vinci Code' with abs."
However, the star power of the leads proved undeniable. "If 'Uncharted' survives on one thing, it’s the charming banter between Holland and Wahlberg," Walsh writes. "While Holland is a bit youthful for the role, he’s in a fun zone as a naughtier, zippier version of his Queens-born city kid Peter Parker. He’s matched by Wahlberg, who is locked in his signature high-pitched/rapid fire, 'say hi to ya mother for me' cadence. The pair are so entertaining to watch that it’s a letdown when Holland interacts with anyone else."
