A pathetic attempt at an action-adventure movie

Rating: 2/10 (27 December 2007)

I actually registered on IMDb specifically to comment on this pathetic attempt at movie-making. What's the best thing about this film? That it's over! I NEVER walked out on movies, but this was one of the few cases I was about to. Is 2 out of 10 a drastic grade? Nope. This film features: a) Very poor acting, unbelievable and pathetic b) A sorry excuse of a conspiracy theory -- you have templars and everything else that goes along. But this film is so very much not the Da Vinci Code... c) '80's adventure film banal clichés -- it's meant to be Indiana Jones-like and fails utterly, the film overuses clichés that were trite even back in the 1980's d) The dramatic US patriotism moments are simply as retro and so... blah :) e) Plot is chaotic and predictable like sunset. Given that this is a Disney film I suppose they should specifically have mentioned that it's 18-
Do yourself a favor and DON'T waste your time and money. If you decide to watch it anyway, please wait for the DVD release (dunno if it's out yet) and rent it -- do yourself this favor at least. That's probably the last film featuring Cage I had seen -- apparently he's now signing up for mediocre productions only.
