Movie review - "National Treasure" (2004) **1/2

A surprise hit for the Disney organisation - a G rated adventure movie with Nicolas Cage giving, as always, the piece a bit of edge. He's a treasure hunter who is trying to find a buried treasure with links to the Declaration of Independence. There's some family history here - as represented by dad Jon Voight and grandad Chris Plummer.

Justin Bartha is flat comic relief and Diane Kruger not that fun either as the female love interest. Sean Bean is fine as the baddy.

There's some overproduced action numbers, a strong story and a sense of fun.
