Pretty good movie.

Rating: 6/10 (17 December 2004)

I give this 6 out of 10 stars.
It was good movie. I have to admit, I thought the premise was stupid but I was wrong.
The story is about the Founding Fathers of America and their ties with a secretive society called Freemasons which is somehow tied with the Knights of Templar of Medieval Europe. It seems that riches beyond belief was hoarded by these people throughout the ages and one of the keys to this treasure lies with the document, Declaration of Independence.
I am not a fan of Cage but he did a good job in this movie. He plays the smart but obsessed person named Mr. Gates, who is on a mission to find the mother-of-all treasures. In his way is a dangerous man who once funded the endeavors of Mr. Gates, but are now rivals in this dangerous pursuit.
I like the whole conspiracy and the tie in with the Knights of Templars. Again, a good movie. I could see why this movie did well in the box office.
