National Treasure Book Of Secrets (2007) 7/10

Starring : Nicolas Cage, Justin Bartha, Diane Kruger, Jon Voight, Helen Mirren, Ed Harris, Harvey Keitel
Director : John Turteltaub
Running Time : 125 mins

Ben Gates (Cage) finds himself having to prove his ancestors innocence in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln by discovering the secrets of the John Wilkes Booth diary, which leads him on a round the world trip and the discovery of a secret book, passed onto successive Presidents, which could in turn lead him to the lost City of Gold.

This movie wasn’t too bad, although it pretty much repeated what the original did. The supporting cast are far more entertaining than Cage could ever hope to be, with Bartha and Kruger offering comic relief through both their own characters and the characters they bring to the story. Mirren and Voight are great as the bickering parents, and the storyline, though simple, is effective in parts.
