Pick of the week
Fountain of Youth

Guy Ritchie channels his inner Indiana Jones – by way of Lara Croft and The Da Vinci Code – in this light-on-its-feet adventure about the hunt for the mythical wrinkle-banishing spring. John Krasinski brings an amiable charm to Luke Purdue, an art thief with a grand plan that involves the reluctant help of his curator sister Charlotte (Natalie Portman) and the deep pockets of the “embarrassingly” rich but terminally ill Owen Carver (Domhnall Gleeson). There are coded messages in old master paintings, the raising of the Lusitania and, inevitably, ancient Egyptian tombs in their action-heavy global quest, with Krasinski and Portman sharp and funny as the bickering siblings.
