Enjoyable action film which educates about American history

Rating: 8/10 (4 February 2007)

Exactly what a movie should be - enjoyable suspension of reality with treasure, history, patriotism and hi-tech crime all thrown into the mix.
Okay, it's not Con Air or The Rock but it is a quality film nonetheless.
All the characters are believable apart from Jon Voight whose too good an actor for this part, the locations are interesting and the weaving of history into fiction result in a movie which, if you come from outside America, could spark your interest in all the monuments in Washington and how they came to exist i.e. National Archives, Liberty Bell, Independence Hall to name but a few.
