#10 - National Treasure: Book Of Secrets

2007 Action/Adventure
Directed by Jon Turteltaub
Rated PG

*** 1/2

Every now and then, I like to go to a movie theater and not have to think. I am there for one reason and one reason only; to be entertained. And that is what I got with National Treasure: Book Of Secrets. No, almost nothing in the film is plausible. The stunts that Gates and his partners pull off would be, at best, impossible to actually accomplish. But so what? As long as it's entertaining, who cares? This movie (and it's predecessor) both get right what the film version of the Da Vinci Code got so wrong; they don't take themselves seriously. And in a movie as implausible as this (and, on that note, the Da Vinci Code) that is a necessity.
