Riddles of the Sphinx (2008 TV Movie)
4/10
Quite fun - making (almost) the most of zero budget
16 June 2021
I don't understand the very negative reviews. OK, it's not great in any department, but if you have a zero budget and set out to make an entertaining action flick, you could do a lot worse. The nice thing is, the lead man isn't an action hero but a 'thinker' (and I thought pretty well played) supported by an action-woman and his genius teen daughter who seems to work through every problem on a hand-held game console.

Generally OK plot-wise, though there's nothing original, but two things did annoy me. Who else are we supposed to think might be the traitor? And why, at the climax, does the 'thinker' suddenly go off on his own, leaving the women behind, given one is much tougher than him and the other much smarter? More to the point, why would they ever let him?
