Tom Slick: Mystery Hunter
5.0/5
Critic Rating
Tom Slick: Mystery Hunter chronicles the larger than life adventures of Tom Slick (Owen Wilson) and his steadfast pursuit of the unknown, culminating to one of his greatest and most mystifying expeditions: his 1958 hunt for the Yeti. Tom Slick’s epic story is told through hidden tapes found by his granddaughter Liv Slick (Schuyler Fisk) in the attic of her mother, Claire Slick (Sissy Spacek). What is a climactic tale of a legendary man and his hunt for the Yeti is, for Liv, the discovery of a grandfather whose life was largely shrouded in mystery… until now.

"Wilson is well cast in the title role, an Indiana Jones-meets-Edmund Hillary figure bursting with charisma and derring-do, while Spacek is a more down-to-earth presence as the daughter posthumously getting to know her father. The soundscaping is excellent: ambitiously multi-layered and noisy in a way that is entirely fitting for a rollicking and bingeable action-adventure series. …"

"Wilson relishes the role of Slick...plenty of adventures to relay."
