Review:
I really enjoyed this movie--possibly the history nerd in me, but the directing, acting, music and plot--as well as the beautiful locations--probably had something to do with it as well. The action sequences are reminiscent of the Bourne movies and the exploration sequences allude to Indiana Jones, but with a much softer edge and a PG rating. The lead characters are likeable and well-acted, especially Bartha's character, who provides the comic relief in the film. The plot itself is full of twists and turns, making National Treasure a family watch you won't want to miss.
For Parents:
Some action violence (guns, chase scenes, a woman hanging onto a car door, a scary cave). Probably too much for young kids
My Rating:
*****
