Great film

A fantastic film from start to finish. I was lucky enough to catch an advance screening over the weekend and I was amazed at to how the team was able to make yet another Indy film. I must say I had my doubts but they were swiftly brushed to one side.

Fantastic action sequences and tense moments really drove home the action portion of the film, whereas the sentimental emotional scenes really got me.

In my opinion this is probably my second favourite Indy film, which it should hold in some high regard as the previous three are firm favourites in my movie library.

Absolutely sublime from start to finish
