THE JEWEL OF THE NILE (Theatrical Release USA 1985)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.1|5.0 Starsìììì

The Jewel of the Nile—sequel movie to Romancing the Stone—accesses comedy through Actor Danny DeVito, reprises Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner to tell a solid story. It is not as entertaining as Romancing the Stone, but still manages to serve up a fair amount of action and comedy. It’s worth a watch. Watch for Avner Eisenberg. He shows strong personality onscreen.
