What to say about this film? It�s entertaining enough in an almost high browed lets have really, really obscure clues that the audience never had a chance to get right, and a load of American �history� thrown in. This film is basically Nicolas Cage running around the States following clues to find the �national treasure� hidden by the Founding Fathers and supposedly �rescued� from Solomon�s Temple. He does this with the help of Diane Kruger�s �I�m a pretty but highly intelligent person honest� and Justin Batha�s �I do all the technical stuff, and make stupid comments�.

There are some quite cool set pieces (stealing the Declaration of Independence for example) and Sean Bean�s playing the bad English guy (he�s always worth watching). Apart from that there really isn�t that much going for it, you might as well go and see another film as it can�t be that hard to find something better. I�m sure it has much more relevance to Americans, where the hidden treasure is supposed to still be hidden somewhere, but it just seemed like a bog standard treasure hunt/action movie to me.
