Run of the Mill

Rating: 6/10 (6 July 2005)

I watched this movie thinking it would be something special. This is what happens when you get suckered into the marketing posters and trailers.
The premise started out well, but in the end, it's just another run-of-the-mill type adventure. Nicholas Cage is fine in this but his action sequences has been stepped down somewhat compare to what he had done previously.
The story revolves around hidden treasure laid down by the Templars and then hidden by the Freemasons. I was thinking that maybe the treasure was symbolic, but unfortunately, it's just your run of the mill gold, priceless documents, statues etc. Okay. There is a lot of it. But still...
Maybe if they had some kind of international flavour to this, then it might have compared to the likes of Indiana Jones. But this was sadly not the case.
It's okay to while the time away, if you have some spare. Otherwise, it's not really worth the effort.
