Riveting

Rating: 10/10 (5 May 2014)

Jon Turteltaub's National Treasure tells the interesting story about a historian by the name of Benjamin Franklin Gates (played by Nicolas Cage)who races to find a Templar treasure before at team of mercenaries. What I saw from this movie was that it was very entertaining in a sense because of the interesting plot and the wonderful acting, The movie also compares to other great films that have a similar plot line for example, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and The Da Vinci Code. And that so called Templar treasure is The Declaration of Independence, What Gates's objective was to keep the Declaration away from the mercenaries that want it badly, then gets busted by the FBI led by Agent Sadusky (played by Harvey Keitel). Then Gates tells Sadusky after his arrest that he can get it back from the leader of the mercenaries Ian (played by Sean Bean). Nicolas Cage gives one of the best performances of his career in this absolutely entertaining adventure film.
