More Indiana Jones than Enid Blyton! Do not expect this adaptation to resemble the original,but it tells a fine yarn with a half decent cast. Enid Blyton told her story from the kids' perspective,but this version is a free dramatisation adapted for a much broader audience. The acting is decent and avoids making the storyline too much of a pastiche.
The plot is old fashioned goodies v baddies,but the reviews above seem to be assessments viewed through rose tinted spectacles.
If you want an old fashioned adventure story,which is fast moving,reasonably credible,but lacking in humour,this is for you,as long as you don' ttake it too seriously!
