Very Very Good

Rating: 8/10 (21 May 2006)

This is quite an excellent movie. Nicholas Cage stars as Ben Gates alongside the extremely attractive Diane Kruger starring as Abigail Chase. The movie is extremely fast paced and though it may seem to be built along "The Da Vinci Code" lines the plot and the general myth and history is American and being so, completely independent. Sean Bean makes an excellent villain. The movies got it all: Chase scenes, thriller scenes, scenes of brilliance in which the bulb comes on in one of the characters' heads and last but not least brilliantly funny quips from the techie/sidekick/whiner character played by Justin Bartha. All in all its a very entertaining and gripping movie to see when one has free time on the weekends.
