The Mummy (2017)

Starring: Tom Cruise, Russell Crowe, Sofia Boutella, Annabella Wallis, Jake Johnson
Director: Alex Kurtzman

Premise:
A thief who specializes in ancient artifacts finds a tomb where an Egyptian princess is buried. He unleashes the cursed mummy that wants to bring evil to the world.

My Take:
About the only interesting part of the movie is how they incorporated Dr. Jekyll into the scene. Otherwise it's a lot of Tom Cruise trying to save the day.

Rating: Warning

Watched: Cinemax

Director: Christy Cabanne

Premise:

My Take:
A standard story for this type of movie from this time period. But it is made well and is a quick watch.
