4.6/5EXECUTIONER "ACE"Quick Hit
Dr. Ace says this one still has juice.
Full Take
Featuring bravura set pieces, sly humor, and white-knuckle action, Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of the most consummately entertaining adventure pictures of all time. Dr. Ace verdict: this is straight-up era-defining and absolutely worth the time.

I actually agree with this take. It’s not perfect but it definitely delivers in key moments.

I’m pretty much with this take on Raiders of the Lost Ark. It builds its mood early and keeps squeezing that tension the whole way. What stuck with me most was how controlled the atmosphere felt. It earns the good will by actually delivering on the mood it promises.

There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.
