Phoebe Waller-Bridge plays the grifting sidekick to Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones.
Yes, he’s the man who easily slipped into the roles of such iconic mavericks as Han Solo, Rick Deckard, and Indiana Jones. But the sumabitch is 80 years old. He can’t run from boulders and chase after replicants and shoot aliens in cantinas like he used to. He’s not studly and chiseled anymore. The weather probably fucks with his bones. He’s an old-ass man.
It appears the MacGuffin for this flick is half of a dial built by Archimedes that could send people back in time, and two people want it the most. There’s Helena , the archaeologist buddy’s grifter of a daughter, who wants to sell it. And then, there’s Jurgen Voller , a former Nazi turned NASA scientist who obviously wants the dial to make sure World War II ends in his side’s favor.
Have you ever been to an amusement park with people you can’t stand? Well, that’s basically what you get with this one. Jones is the crusty grandpa of the crew, literally complaining in one scene about how his withering, decaying body shouldn’t have to climb another damn wall. But he’s practically the audience surrogate in comparison to the other characters.
