The first was better

Rating: 6/10 (31 August 2008)

My expectations were met. It starts slow with some long unnecessary dialogs but then the uncomplicated story began to turn mysterious with puzzles to solve. Sometimes I felt being back in the time of the last 19th century of the American history. The spy part was definitely predictable until the end but the special effects and action scenes were therefore realistic and well executed. The actors delivered a solid performance and especially Helene Mirror was interesting to see after her outstanding role in CALENDAR GIRL. I can recommend this adventure movie to all fans of this genre but also for families. Don't miss the first NATIONAL TREASURE that was better than the second. Final vote: 6/10.
