Not a treasure

Rating: 5/10 (2 July 2005)

This movie is not worth your time, as it is full of plot holes and is unrealistic to the point of taking away from the enjoyment of the movie (and I am usually tolerant of a lack of realism). While certain parts were entertaining and the movie overall could be fun to watch if you suspend all disbelief, I just kept asking myself with each new plot twist, "Ok, how can they do that?" For example, Nicolas Cage cracks some code to figure out that there's a map on the back of the Declaration and it takes him all of 1 minute and the code is a bunch of gibberish. Another example, is when they manage to steal the Declaration which has no security guards around it and Nic Cage manages to carry the Declaration in its 1-foot thick bullet-proof casing all by himself.
