"National Treasure: Book of Secrets"

Action/Adventure, Thriller and Sequel. Rated PG.

Nicholas Cage is back on the hunt for puzzles and treasure once again as scholar-adventurer in Benjamin Gates in National Treasure: Book of Secrets. Returning is Jon Voight as Gates' father, Patrick; Diane Kruger as ex-girlfriend Abigail Chase; Justin Bartha as assistant Riley Poole, and Harvey Keitel as FBI Agent Peter Sadusky. Joining the adventure is Helen Mirren as Gates' mother, Emily Appleton.

This time, Gates' latest mission involves the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln at the end of the Civil War, where evidence proclaims that Gates' great-great-grandfather (Joel Gretsch) was involved in Lincoln's murder. Refusing to believe that his ancestor both a murderer and a traitor to America, Gates sets out to prove his innocence, leading him and his team from Europe to Her Majesty in London to the White House to Virginia, where the Book of Secrets handed down from President to President is revealed.

Book of Secrets is a family affair because it continues to explore more into the Gates family. It is good to see Voight and Kruger to take more active roles in this sequel rather than sit on the sideline like the original. The chemistry they have with Cage and Mirren are wonderful -- especially between Voight and Mirren, who truly acts like old, bickering, estranged former spouses. Bartha does have perfect timing as both comic relief and sidekick as well as opportunist to Cage's Indiana Jones-like Gates.

Like the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, the film has something and everything for the whole family.
