Disney+'s new series 'National Treasure: Edge of History' isn't quite a worthy sequel to the Nicolas Cage films. Our review:
Of all the heist films ever created, National Treasure has perhaps the wildest premise of them all — even compared to Ocean’s 8’s plot of stealing jewels out from under the nose of Anna Wintour and the Met.
From the get-go, it’s difficult to root yourself into the story of Jess and her friends — a group of plucky twenty-somethings all living in an apartment they definitely couldn’t afford in the real world. The pace is slow and does little to endear us to anyone, even Jess, and the charm that made National Treasure endlessly quotable is lost when a number of other characters and subplots are piled on top of the kids who are already struggling to bear the weight of leading the show.
Having exhausted all connections to American history — and the Freemasons, the Knight’s Templar, and any other bizarre thing that’s come out of the States since its inception — Edge of History has now moved into Mesoamerican culture, conjuring up a treasure lost to time after Hernán Cortés invaded what is now Latin America.
