Embarking upon 'Anubis Under Fire' is akin to wandering through a labyrinthine museum where all the exhibits are shrouded in a cloth of mediocrity. Charlie Chapenguin's direction is as misguided as a compass at the Bermuda Triangle, leading a cast that is hopelessly entangled in a script that can't decide if it's an espionage thriller or a dusty academic discourse. Steve McQuinoa's Dr. Arthur Sands is about as charismatic as a lecturing professor on a hot afternoon, while Stellan Skarsgarnish's performance as an enigmatic housewife manages to be both overwrought and yawn-inducing. Gene Trout-ney's soldier might be the only glimmer of something authentic, but it's a dim light in the overwhelming fog of 'Anubis Under Fire's' pretentious narrative. With a tagline promising relics of trust, the only ancient artifact here is the trope-ridden plot that should have been left buried. In the end, the true deception is the film itself, luring the audience with the promise of wartime intrigue and delivering a cinematic snooze fest.
