Let's talk about Nicolas Cage. I haven't seen many of his movies but he is known for being over the top and crazy with his performances. One of his movies I have seen is a Disney movie known as National Treasure. In the movie Cage plays a conspiracy theorist. It sounds fun so let's take a look at Nicolas Cage's National Treasure. Also, sorry that this review is shorter than others. There's less to talk about in a movie than a TV show.
Characters: The main character of the movie is a conspiracy theorist named Benjamin Gates. Cage plays him crazy enough so that he seem genuinely insane but just enough so that you think he could be right. Ben's assistant Riley is also a good comic relief character. There's Ben's love interest Abigail Chase. She's a bit boring but she's okay. Ian is the main villain of the movie. He's an entertaining villain and I actually like him. Ben's father Patrick is there to contrast Ben. And he's a good foil to him, And lastly, there's Sadusky, the detecting trying to track down Ben. I actually find his mission rather interesting. So overall a good cast of characters.
Plot: The plot goes that the Founding Fathers of America hid a treasure somewhere and left clues to find it. Ben is one of the only people who believes it exists. Ben finally finds out that there's a map on the back of the Declaration of Independence. But Ian wants to steal it. So Ben decides to steal it before he does. And after that, the mystery keeps building from there. There are a lot of good action sequences in the movie. I like the build up and execution of the Declaration of Independence heist. It's sort of like Indiana Jones or the Goonies with the treasure hunting adventure aspect. I just love a good adventure movie. One of the only complaints I have is that they really don't explain enough.Conclusion: Nation Treasure is a great adventure movie. Nicolas Cage does a great job of acting like a crazy person (Although I'm not sure how much is acting) and the other characters aren't too bad either. The real best part of the movie is the action sequences and the sense of danger and adventure. So I do recommend National Treasure.
