6/10

She merits a 12, the film generously a -6, so averaged +6. Frank Langella is ok. The plot is ridiculous, even for its day. The title has nothing to do with the film, except that both are in Egypt. It's, I suppose, a kind of heist movie. Well, not really. No thefts seem to occur during present time in the film. Perhaps it would more accurately be described as a film about the historical thefts of Egyptian antiquities, and an inept and improbable English archaeologist who unwraps a bit of it. Still, I could watch her doing dishes, and perhaps it would be more exciting than this film. I kept expecting something, but it never happened. I couldn't think of a spoiler if you paid me.
