Reviews

Chicago Tribune - Allison Benedikt
Overall the film is alluringly over-the-top without being overcooked.

Charlotte Observer - Lawrence Toppman
The film whirls by in a satisfying torrent of chases, escapes and discoveries.
63
Miami Herald - Unnamed
It's a tomb-raiding adventure movie several notches below Indiana Jones status.
63
Philadelphia Inquirer - Carrie Rickey
An undeniable pleasure of National Treasure was watching a movie shot locally that wasn't haunted by a virus or by dead people.
50
Christian Science Monitor - David Sterritt
Too bad the clever bits are swamped by no-brainer gunfights, rescues, and chases galore.
