Saw National Treasure last night, it was just "ok". I'll give it a 6 out of 10. It was basically a Raiders of the Lost Ark set in present day, finding the Knights Templar treasure hidden by several signers of the Declaration of Independence that were secretly members of the Free Mason society. Of course there were the obligatory patriotic themes, chases, helicopters, explosions, drama and the beautiful brainy blonde love interest. She was nice to look at, but the love interest theme added nothing to the story.
The beautiful brainy blonde love interest was played by Diane Kruger, she also will play Helen in the upcoming movie Troy. The clues and the treasure traps were highly creative, but I suspect that if this movie didn't have the big names of Nicholas Cage, John Voight and Harvey Keitel, it would have definitely been a B movie only worthy of broadcast on the Sci-Fi channel next to Tremors: The Series and Scare Tactics. _________________________________________________ If you can't take the heat, don't tickle the dragon. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
