Movie #3452 "Fountain of Youth" (Netflix) I like these two actors, and I enjoy watching something historical, but this was a disappointment. It was just another "action flick" - which I'm not a big fan. The humor I welcomed --- the brother, sister relationship was an interesting twist, but not well used in my opinion, and the chase kin d of passed the "silly bar" for me --- i.e., I didn't care after a while, so it was one chase after another. John K. delivered lines like Ryan Reynolds, but just wasn't him (might have liked the film better if he was -- don't know -- I think it's a script failure, though) And I have to say, if you get to the end, well, my advice is don't --- because it was ridiculous --- the idea that a mother of a young child would let her son watch the ending of this in front of their very eyes? RIDICULOUS. But I do like Natalie Portman, and it was nice to see her in anything, but not this shallow --- I give it a 3 out of 5.
