Good pace for a PG-rated action flick

Rating: 7/10 (19 November 2004)

I thought this movie moved along at a good clip. I was wondering how they'd squeeze two hours out of a PG-rated action flick. It was a refreshing break from blood, gore and gratuitous violence. I felt like the movie was a nice blend of Indiana Jones and The DaVinci Code, both of which I enjoyed.
Diane Kruger, the actress who plays Gates' (Nicholas Cage) love interest, Dr. Chase, is very attractive. I found it interesting that she is one of two actors who were also in Troy. She starred as Helen. Ian Howe (played by Sean Bean) was the other. He played Odysseus in Troy.
All-in-all, it was worth the money, even for a film with Nicholas Cage, whom I often feel is over-acting.
