(Three stars)
IF you get the feeling you've seen this film before, you have - it's a mish-mash of the Indiana Jones movies, with a dash of Tomb Raider and Pirates of the Caribbean thrown in for good measure.
This is standard glossy Disney fare dished up for families to get together and enjoy - and does a great job of entertaining without challenging for two hours.
Nicolas Cage heads up a great cast - including Jon Voight, Sean Bean and Diane Kruger - as the treasure hunter turned reluctant hero.
He learns of a plot to steal the Declaration of Independence for an invisible treasure map on the back of it - pointing the way to some of the world's greatest and rarest treasure.
Cage does his best to bring a depth of character to the role, something which is nice but completely pointless for a film like this.
Kruger provides the love interest and Voight puts in a good turn as Cage's world-weary dad.
Being Disney, no-one dies horribly, everything turns out happily and the world is put to rights.
This is fluffy, harmless fun and is well worth a look if you've got a couple of hours to spare.
