Vincent S @Vin_E_At_The_Movies 1d I love this movie and it still holds up. Kathleen Turner was on a roll in the early 80s and her transformative performance here is first comically excellent and then very sexy. Call this Raiders of the Lost Ark light but on its own you have a quirky, exciting, funny and very well acted crowd pleaser and adventure romance. Michael Douglas and Danny DeVito are excellent with great support from a very funny Alfonso Arau and a very evil Manuel Ojeda.

The hook was effective and the pacing even. Sure, there are things that could have been improved slightly, but whenever I think of the action-romance genre this is the first movie that comes to mind.

Joan's widowed sister Elaine is kidnapped by smugglers Ira & Ralph. They informed Joan she needs to bring the map that will lead to the location of El corazon that was sent to her to Cartagena. While on the bus Joan distracts the bus driver the bus crashes into Jack t Colton's vehicle. Jack reminds her of a real life Jesse. A character she created in her romance novels. Jack only agrees to help Joan because she promises him 375 in travelers checks. As they go out on their wild adventure they encounter everything from antique smugglers, zolo & his menacing military. They get help from an unlikely source Juan a drug lord who it turns out is a huge fan of Jones novels. The movie is like a cross between Tomb Raider & Raiders of The Lost Ark. The film was produced by Michael Douglas. This movie is a fun action adventure comedy. See more Christopher C. @PapaTangooo May 21 Danny Devito is a national treasure.

Still funny and compelling and well worth watching. Danny DeVito, Kathleen Turner, and Michael Douglas are great in this, I look forward to watching Jewel of Nile and War of the Roses again too!
