nice adventure

Rating: 7/10 (10 March 2007)

Despite the many critics, I personally enjoyed this film. It is a packed with action, a full-of-wits kind of race. It's the perfect break from a stressful week at work for me. Unlike what I expected, it was not so much of the serious I-must-find-the-treasure sort of film, partly thanks to Riley Poole who always manages to lighten up the atmosphere with his clever lines. Also, it was fascinating how the whole plot seems to click together, from the Charlotte to the Trinity Church. Many had thought that it was rather far-fetched. I agree. Well, who could get the answer to the Charlotte's riddle in a matter of minutes? You can't expect the Declaration of Independence to be stolen that easily. However, we can't expect a thriller about treasure hunting to be 100% credible either, can we? Basically, I guess the good guys are witty enough and the bad guys are crafty enough to make this whole treasure-hunting race exciting. Well, if you overlook those unbelievable details of the film, it makes a really exciting adventure.
