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

The film whirls by in a satisfying torrent of chases, escapes and discoveries.

It's a tomb-raiding adventure movie several notches below Indiana Jones status.

An undeniable pleasure of National Treasure was watching a movie shot locally that wasn't haunted by a virus or by dead people.

Too bad the clever bits are swamped by no-brainer gunfights, rescues, and chases galore.
