This film is perfect for those who like Indiana Jones movies and something like Da Vinci Code. National Treasure: Book Of Secrets is a mix of both genres. Kind of an adventurous thriller.The story is as usual: Some good ones searching for a hidden treasure to extract the historical informations and some bad ones searching for the same treasure to extract money, gold and prosperities from it.
Fairly funny dialogues and a treasure hunt at high speed keep you really busy with watching and trying to understand the story. In the middle of the film you finally discover that the story is not important at all.
The whole story is not really logical if you see how easily the protagonists in this film are able to get into Buckingham Palace, The Oval Office and how easily they solve every new riddle in just a few minutes. We had a good laugh at the way of how the scenes have been constructed sometimes...especially when it came to the hijacking of the US President. But this ain't no documentary, it is an entertaining movie. And it was entertaining me very well. Recommended.
The main actors:
Nicolas Cage - terrible as usual
Diane Kruger - meaningless and pale
Justin Bartha - funny and ironic
Ed Harris - somewhere between good and evil...as usual
