Scott's Review:
2.5 out of 5 stars on July 23, 2005

If you like the Da Vinci Code, then you'll like this movie. It's a bit like Indiana Jones in that it follows an intellectual on his quest through history to discover some hidden treasure.

Sadly, it's not really as much fun as Indiana Jones. There's some fun little action sequences, but when it comes down to it, the movie simply tries too hard to follow the formula of this genre and isn't that interesting. And somehow I never quite believed that Ben Franklin could have hidden secret messages on the Declaration of Independence.

In the end it's a fun enough popcorn flick, but there isn't a lot here to keep interest for too long.
