Reminds Me Of A Classic Spy Thriller

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2007)

When someone critiques the script for a movie sequel, one of the things they might write in the column is S-O-S, which stands for "Same Old Stuff." The plot for this sequel, however, is really quite original. It takes the characters on an entirely new adventure without having to recycle the plot points from the first film in the series.
The scene atop Mount Rushmore reminds me of Cary Grant's Spy Classic, "North By Northwest," and then morphs into an Indiana Jones-style adventure. We also get to see the sights, outside AND in, from Paris, to London, to Washington, D.C.
The actors are also A-list, as opposed to other films that might only have one or two A-listers. It costs more to make a movie like that, and in this case we can see that the film is the better for it. Thus, my complements to Nicholas Cage, John Voight, and the rest of the cast.
