Tedious

Rating: 3/10 (3 July 2006)

Maybe I expected too much. I was all set for a thrilling adventure movie. About halfway through, I was waiting for it to get thrilling. After awhile, I was just anxiously waiting for it to end.
There's a lot of "let's go here, let's go there" stuff as the good guys try to stay one step ahead of the bad guys. But where Indiana Jones had vast expanses of interesting territories in which to chase and be chased, Nicholas Cage and friends are essentially limited to Washington DC and downtown Philadelphia. Sort of an urban Indiana Jones semi-adventure.
The movie kept delivering about 50 percent of what I expected. Finally, I just didn't care about the resolution of the plot; I just wanted the movie to be over. If you go into it expecting nothing, you may be pleased that it's "just okay." But if you expect anything more than that, you may be disappointed.
