Poor unbelievable story and too much action with little substance,.

Rating: Null/10 (21 November 2011)

This could well be one of the worst films I've ever seen with a ridiculous plot, unbelievable gimmicks and relatively poor performances, especially by "star" Nicholas Cage With an obviously high budget, the chases, helicopters, global settings and extravagant scenes made the film, for me, all show and little substance. The real significance of the Declaration of Independence was totally overshadowed by its representation as a secret hiding place for clues leading to a historical treasure which led to clues which led to clues ad nauseum, reminiscent of the Demons and Angels movie that was the prequel to the Da Vinci Code . Without being a spoiler I can say that many of the scenes stretched credibiity to its limit, and can only be labeled a farce . Great perhaps for the pre-high school mentality but a shame that so much money was spent on a sham of a story about our true national treasure, the Declaration of Independence.
