There are some things in life that equate to common knowledge: The sky is blue, the grass is green, the sun is hot and Nicolas Cage can't act. Taking that into account should be enough to ensure that you never have to sit through this utterly disgraceful excuse for a film. It isn't one of those hilarious action films that is worthy of the title 'so bad it's good', it's just all bad.

What utter drivel! The DVDs should be collected and thrown into the sea. My time could have been better spent putting needles in my eyes.

This movie has the most far fetched and ridiculous plot ever concocted. The Cage/Kruger love interest is tenious at best and the psuedo science/theology spewed by Nic Cage is laughable. Sean Bean is the only notable addition to this film, in whi... read more

Honestly, for many years, I have been defending Nicolas Cage, arguing that he is actually a very good actor but the amount of garbage he has been making lately is quite remarkable. I know many of us would categorize this movie as yet another Cage piece of turd but it was actually not bad at all, at least that’s my opinion. Of course, it is not a masterpiece whatsoever but what did you expect exa... read more

After he steals it, he hops a plane to a non-extradition country to start their new lives together. But they soon find that they're differences may be too much to overcome.

Movie Reviews (part 6) (50 movies items)

" The Ups: A mix between Dan Brown stories and Indiana Jones that actually feels fresher than it is. The actors seem engaged and interested making me involved in the film. The Downs: Totally absurd action sequences with disappointing ending. "

Of course, it is not a masterpiece whatsoever but what did you expect exactly?!? It is and remains after all a blockbuster produced by Jerry Bruckheimer so if you expected something award worthy, you’ll be disappointed. Personally, I have to confess, ever since I have seen Indiana Jones as a kid, I always had a weak spot for those treasure hunting movies and this one was not an exception. Of course, it never comes near the level of awesomeness of the original Indiana” read more
