Treasure Raiders

wanted it to be more
I really wanted to give this movie more. I liked the idea a lot. The mystery of the templars, the mystery of Russia. It was a good idea.

But the script and the acting was absolutely horrible. Even the car races that they tried to use to liven up the film were not up to snuff.

One of the main characters, Wolf, was so Arnold-esk in his early films that I can see him making more action films in the next 5 years. Hopefully with acting lessons under his belt. However one mystery to the film. Wolf's girlfriend. She gets kidnapped, rescued, then is in the click trying to solve the templar mystery and then we never see her again. Probably the last 30 min., she's disappeared. She was kind of a presistant and likable, terciary character, and just disappears. For a moment I thought it would get spiced up with her turning spy or double agent but nothing.

Its five movies in one, all of them bad
An American teaching in Russia is also looking for the lost treasure of the Templars. He is in Russia because he is convinced the treasure is in Moscow somewhere. He finances his excursions by entering street races with his souped up car. The man running the races is a muscle-bound philanthropist who steals drugs from dealers to get them off the street. This man, Wolf, has an amulet that will help unravel the mystery of the Templars. Along the way the professor falls in love with Wolf's sister, reveals he has an 800 year old manuscript written by the last Templar leader because they are related and helps Wolf fight off the drug dealers who want there product and money back. David Carradine also shows up as a historian who lets the professor do all the work and then tries to steal the results for himself.

Treasure hunting, Russian Style
Bought this because of David Caridine, and it turns out it not that bad, have watched about 5 times, which means I like it
