The Apathetic Guide With A Golden Heart
Then we have our own Rick O’Connell in Jungle Cruise through the character of Frank the Skipper. Frank is a mysterious fellow who becomes the guy Lily must team up with to go across the river and find the “Tears of the Moon,” a mythical tree that grows petals that can cure illnesses, heal injuries and lift curses. Dwayne Johnson’s character comes off as selfish and shady in the first half of the film, often pushing Lily’s buttons with the woes of the adventure ahead. As the movie unfolds, we learn that Frank’s interest in the Tears of the Moon runs much deeper. His careless front wears off, as we learn he needs to be part of the mission to break the curse of his 400-year-old friends and lay them to rest.
