Lots of fun

Rating: 8/10 (19 November 2004)

This movie has an implausible premise.
That having been said, it's a lot of fun to watch. It is non-stop action as our heroes race against time and the bad guys to solve one riddle after another to find a fabulous treasure hidden somewhere in America by the founding fathers. The riddles are all related to the United States as it existed shortly after the Revolution. The following is a minor spoiler, but it is referred to in the trailer. Some of the clues are written on the back of The Declaration of Independence, so a big part of the plot is obtaining that document.
Nicolas Cage and Diane Kruger work well together, and while the plot is not primarily about romance, their developing relationship is very believable.
If this appeals to you, go see it. I loved it.
