It’s a ‘culture bender’ of a movie, like Sahara was. I’m sure we’ll see a few more of these from the US of A.
I sometimes wish the US had a longer, richer history and could then justify movies like this.

As for Jon Voight…talk about ’selling your soul’ (to popcorn movies), along with Dam J Jackson, Bruce Willis, Keitel eta.

The thing with Bruckheimer is that he makes the highly implausible movies and then gives them just a high enough pace and just enough surprises to keep you from really questioning your suspended disbelief.

I hated Voight in this. The man can’t seem to stop sweating, and he looks nothing like Cage, which makes him unfit to play his father imho. Cage’s grandfather at least had the same long face…

Diane Kruger not only looks like Keira Knighly, she acts like her too… unfortunately…

Fun, but nowhere near as interesting or even credible as Indy…

saw it yesterday. It has many resemblances with The Da Vinci Code. Thought it was highly enjoyable. Full of nonsense but entertaining….

I recently finished reading ‘The Da Vinci Code’ and it is a very mediocre novel. Brown writes as though he is writing a movie screenplay (short scenes, cliff-hangers and stuff) and is a mediocre writer, who underestimates the intelligence of the reader. And there is a plotchange somewhere I didn’t buy for a single instant…

I have the Da Vinci Code in my bookcase

But I prefer to read the more scientific approaches to these subjects. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

Have you read the “Da Vinci Code” (Dan Brown) and “Flicker” (Theodore Roszak)? Tom Hanks is set to play the lead in the film version of Da Vinci code.
