It's a goddamn chore to watch this pile of shit called Manticore.

This is plotted like an Indiana Jones film in reverse, the collected ancient artifacts in the musuem are set loose, and their hidden magic powers burst forth and scourge the countryside. This fantasy film set in modern occupied Iraq can't step outside of the shoes of a B or even C class monster feature. No real life in the desert. Trash because they dared nothing with such an off-balanced premise.
