Please note this is a region B Blu-ray & will require a region B or region free Blu-ray player in order to play National Treasure Like a Hardy Boys mystery on steroids National Treasure offers popcorn thrills & enough boyish charm to overcome its rampant silliness Although it was roundly criticized as a poor man&s rip-off of Raiders of the Lost Ark & The Da Vinci Code it&s entertaining on its own ludicrous terms & Nicolas Cage proves once again that one actor&s infectious enthusiasm can compensate for a multitude of movie sins The contrived plot involves Cage&s present-day quest for the ancient treasure of the Knights Templar kept secret through the ages by Freemasons past & present Finding the treasure requires the theft of the Declaration of Independence (there are crucial treasure clues on the back of course) so you can add "caper comedy" to this Jerry Bruckheimer production&s multi-genre appeal Nobody will ever accuse director Jon Turtletaub of artistic ambition but you&ve got to admit he serves up an enjoyable dose of PG-rated entertainment full of musty clues skeletons deep tunnels & harmless adventure in the old-school tradition It&s a load of hokum but it&s fun hokum & that makes all the difference --Jeff Shannon National Treasure 2 Book of Secrets Less engrossing than its 2004 predecessor National Treasure Jon Turteltaub’s busy sequel National Treasure 2 Book of Secrets is nevertheless a colourful & witty adventure another race against overwhelming odds for the answer to a historical riddle Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage) the treasure hunter who feverishly sought the whereabouts of a war chest hidden by America’s forefathers in the first film is now charged with protecting family honour When a rival (Ed Harris) offers alleged proof that Gates’ ancestor Thomas Gates was not a Civil War-era hero but a participant in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln Ben & his father (Jon Voight) & crew (Justin Bartha Diane Kruger) hopscotch through Paris London Washington DC & South Dakota to gather evidence refuting the claim The film is most fun when the hunt as in National Treasure squeezes Ben into such impossible situations as examining twin desks in the Queen’s chambers in Buckingham Palace & the White House’s Oval Office or kidnapping an American president (Bruce Greenwood) for a few minutes of frank talk Helen Mirren the previous year&s Oscar winner for Best Actress wisely joins the cast of a likely hit film as Ben’s archaeologist mother long-estranged from Voight’s character but as feisty as the rest of the family Returning director Turteltaub takes excellent advantage of his colorful backdrops in European capitals & the always-eerie Mount Rushmore & oversees some wildly imaginative sets for this dramedy’s feverish third act in an audacious & completely unexpected legendary setting If National Treasure 2 Book of Secrets doesn’t feel quite as crisp & unique as its predecessor it is still ingenious & wry enough to laugh a bit at itself --Tom Keogh ...
