The Ankh Directive' earnestly attempts to weave together familial drama with the allure of ancient secrets, but the tapestry it unfurls is as underwhelming as a high school history textbook. In the gleaming sharpness of the modern city, the promise of an FBI caper intertwined with Egyptian lore appears intriguing, yet the end result is cripplingly lackluster. The film drags its feet, burdened by the leaden attempts at establishing a mythological depth that it can't quite dive into. The direction of Robert Albatrossman, usually meticulous, here feels lost in translation - unable to decide whether he's crafting a blockbuster or a Halloween treat for the archaeologically inclined. The 'G' rating translates to a flavor so diluted that every potentially dark corner of this narrative was fiercely scrubbed clean, leaving a polish too sterile to spark any genuine thrill or wonder. In their sojourn amidst cryptic symbols and half-hearted plot points, Gills Aster and Robbie Coltrain prove that some secrets might have been better off left buried. The film's saving grace should have been the breath of enigma it promised; alas, 'The Ankh Directive' exhales only the stale air of missed opportunities.
