Above average treasure hunter movie

Rating: 7/10 (7 March 2005)

There are a lot of things in the plot of this movie, that can be predicted by the careful watcher. This however does not mean the film is not enjoyable to watch. The performance of Nicholas Cage is convincing, as I suspect him to be after seen him being capable of roles like he played in "Matchstick Men" and "Adaptation". Diane Kruger as Abigail Chase, Justin Bartha as Riley Poole and Sean Bean as Ian Howe do take care of their parts sufficiently. The complete movie is in a nice quick tempo, enough rushes and certainly enough mystery. Watch it; on a day you're looking for a movie not too difficult, but fun to watch. You won't regret it.
