Nate and Hayes is an adventure film in the style of Spielberg's Indiana Jones series. The film was not a success for some reason.
The film looks good, has some magnificent New Zealand scenery and some great action set pieces. Tommy Lee Jones is a semi charismatic lead and an actor names Jenny Seagrove as the "damsel in distress," is pretty good given the limitations of that part. The 2nd lead Michael O'Keefe is a complete stiff who can't seem to work up any chemistry with either Jones or Seagrove. He brings the film down big time.
Among the writing credits are John Hughes the author of Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club and other teenage ilk films that were popular for a while in the 80's and 90's. I'm not exactly sure what he brought to the table.
This film is no better or worse than any of the Indiana Jones films, and is short enough not to wear our it's welcome, essentially it's a time killer.
96 minutes.
