The ambitious crossover of genres in 'Cleats of the Pharaohs' is a heady amalgamation that treads the delicate line between the farcical and the sublime. The film suffers from an identity crisis, struggling to harmonize the disparate themes of sportsmanship and spectral vengeance from bygone eras. McKellen brings gravitas to a role that demands both comedic and dramatic prowess, though his performance alone cannot lift the narrative from its sometimes quagmire of convoluted plotlines. Diazzle's portrayal of an FBI agent with a peculiar affinity for athletics is both charming and bewildering, clouding the viewer's suspension of disbelief. Horne exudes a commendable presence but is often relegated to spouting aphoristic wisdom that feels decidedly out of place. Goosard's direction aims for grandiosity but occasionally falls prey to the lure of clichés. However, 'Cleats of the Pharaohs' cannot be dismissed entirely; it does capture moments of genuine intrigue and delivers a family-friendly experience that partially redeems its sprawling ambition. Ultimately, this motion picture might find a niche audience that cherishes its peculiar blend of ancient animus and the universal love of sport.
