OK movie, if you can stand it

Rating: 5/10 (25 February 2005)

I was expecting a really cheesy flick, but it wasn't so bad after all. Some scenes are a bit sentimental and patriotic in ways that us europeans find weird and repulsive, and the bad guys do of course have foreign accents. But if you can set that aside, you might still enjoy some parts of this rather average action/adventure movie. Expect no surprises though, the story is very predictable and for Nicolas Cage and the other stars this is just another day at the job with no award-winning performances.
You could say that this is the family version of The Da Vinci Code (religion and sex removed, humor and patriotism added).
