This film is pretty to watch, but it adds nothing new to the genre; the plot is silly as there is almost no logic in what we are watching. From the opening scenes we know this film is something by the numbers because there is no real suspense; it fails to make sense about what we are watching.
The only thing this movie has going is the different locales in which the director, and his crew, decided to take us: Veracruz, Berlin, Athens, Cairo. All in pursuit of the illusive Johnny Faro, the two timing man without scruples.
The stars are wasted. Let's hope they had a good time while they were in location.

If it's Wednesday, this must be Cairo!
OK Mystery with lovely scenery
Not sure why this movie rates so bad with my fellow IMDB members.
I just watched it and found it to be a pleasant diversion. It has interesting locations and the gorgeous Andie McDowell to brighten up the scenery. True, the mystery is not that much, and the ending leaves somewhat to be desired, but this movie is not as terrible as its IMDB rating suggests. The baseball card keys are somewhat unique and I'm an old Pittsburgh Pirate fan--which made it a little more interesting to me. Anyway, give this movie a chance when you have time. 6/10
A Little Jewel (DVD)
Maybe 10 is a little overrated but i didn't expect to enjoy this movie so much. This was a real good surprise:
I imagined that it would be a romance taking place in Egypt while it is rather a treasure hunt all around the world: north and south America, Germany, Greece and Egypt
It is very exotic and the middle-east locations are beautiful: the pyramids, the mosque
I also really like how Andie carries the entire movie on her shoulders alone. Her drive is interesting and not so common by the way. Only Angelina Jolie got characters like this.
It is also an eye-opener for charities because it seems that they have to deal with the devil to achieve their humanitarian goals.
As always, Liam Neeson plays a trustworthy and dedicated man.
