Good mummy films are hard to find and this isn't one either. Even compared to the Brendan-Fraser-"Mummy" this Mulcahy-version, from what I have heard object to heavy post-production-hampering, is, despite all assembled talent, a loser. Starting with script confusion, wooden acting, ending with amazingly poor special FX (very disappointing if you consider that KNB, the guys who made the incredible FX for "From Dusk Till Dawn", even co-produced), in fact some of the worst CGI-effects I've seen for quite a long time. Maybe the two-hour cut helps putting some of the loose ends together, but this 84-min-cut, available on home video in Germany, is just a waste of time. Final plot twist is somewhat surprising, though.
A shame Mulcahy once again fails to live up to his "Highlander" fame.
