Review – Raiders of the Lost Ark

Steven Spielberg serves up one of the all-time classic action adventures. This is the film that started the Indiana Jones series, and it’s still the best of the set. Few other productions have ever so effectively recaptured the look and feel of 30s-era pulp drama. Sadly, a lot of the racism and sexism more acceptable in days gone by also manage to creep into this production. That aside, however, the plot keeps moving, the action sequences are exciting, and the acting none too shabby. Finally, any action movie where the star is an archaeology professor played by Harrison Ford can’t be all bad. Buy the tape
