Tom Hollandis a huge name in the industry right now. Though he has been acting since he was a child, he has shot up in fame since making his debut as everyone’s favorite webslinger inSpider-Man: Homecomingin 2017. Since then, the MCU has become the pinnacle ofHolland’s career. Three of these movies have made it into the top 10 highest-grossing films of all time at the worldwide box office, includingAvengers: Endgame,Avengers: Infinity War, andSpider-Man: No Way Home.
Despite his success in the MCU, Holland’s other films have often struggled to gain significant traction. His YA adaptation series attempt withChaos Walking, for example, was a flop and did not get a sequel. He also teamed up withAvengersco-star Robert Downey Jr.in the 2020 filmDolittle, which underperformed at the box office, making $251.4 million on an estimated $175 million budget. Now, one of Holland’s movies with mixed reviews will soon change streaming homes.

WhatScreenRanthas said aboutUncharted:
Unchartedisn’t without its merits. There are a few scenes filled with excitement and there is plenty of tension between all of the characters — all of whom have a lot of trust issues — that makes their interactions somewhat dynamic and interesting. Yet it’s also the lack of overall trust and the characters constantly trying to one-up each other that gets to be a bit tedious. There also isn’t very much charm embedded into the film and the more lighthearted moments fall flat, with only Wahlberg delivering a few lines that are comically well-timed. (Although the film frustratingly makes light of the fact that Sully looted Baghdad’s museum and it’s completely glossed over.)Uncharted Review
