Lost City of Z, The

Slow pacing hinders this beautifully photographed, fascinating, factually based, violent, 141-minute film based on David Grann's bestselling novel "The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon" that chronicles three perilous expeditions that British Colonel Percival "Percy" Fawcett (Charles Matthew Hunnam) made to South America where he was initially sponsored by the Royal Geographical Society, leaving his pregnant wife (Sienna Miller) and 3-year-old son (Tom Mulheron) in 1906 to survey the border between Bolivia and Brazil with aide-de-camp Henry Costin (Robert Pattinson), returning again in 1912 to Brazil with his devoted crew (Edward Ashley, Matthew Sunderland, et al.) and well-known explorer James Murray (Angus Macfadyen) to find evidence of a mysterious civilization, and finally after serving in WWI, he returns with his adult son Jack (Tom Holland) in 1925 to find the ancient city that he always dreamed of discovering.
