Jack's third and final adventure has him learning that his old adversary Albert Littman has designs on the Eye of the Star of Heaven, Jack heads for Turkey, the last known location of the relic. Helped on his quest by local antiques dealer Nadia, Jack soon manages to pick up the trail, only to be confronted by Littman's henchmen, leading to a deadly showdown in the lava fields of the Turkish mountains.
The conclusion of the Jack Hunter trilogy has a bit more going on within it due to the tying up of several narrative threads. Jack Hunter confronts his nemesis in a good scene. Hunter realises his love for Nadia through his sidekick Tariq's observations in the best scene of the film. This trilogy of films is tight knit and plays out like one huge film, beginning, middle, and end, further aiding my theory that this was one huge, or lengthy production, broken into three ninety minute films to maximise profit. Not bad. The way trilogies should be shot really. No? Just me?
The CGI in this film is just above Asylum and is aided by some good framing and overall appropriation of it. The music is just alright. Better than most direct to video action films I've seen. Typical epic fare, but it does the job.
Jack Hunter 3 is the most engaging of the three films because it has the most interesting villain and has the strongest writing of them all. Watching the previous two films does better the experience somewhat, but i imagine skipping them and still finding some entertainment within this.
