At The Movies Fountain Of Youth a formulaic misfire

FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH (PG13) 125 minutes, now showing on Apple TV+ ★★☆☆☆

The story: Renowned thief and outlaw Luke Purdue (John Krasinski), aided by billionaire Owen Carver (Domhnall Gleeson), searches for an ancient treasure said to grant immortality. The pair hope to recruit Luke's museum-curator sister Charlotte (Natalie Portman), but she refuses. Meanwhile, the mysterious mercenary Esme (Eiza Gonzalez) will stop at nothing to foil Luke's plans.

A flatness of emotion permeates this project, a remarkable feat considering the star-studded cast that includes Oscar winner Portman and the Emmy-nominated Krasinski.
