    I wanted to like it but overall it was rather slow and boring, real shame considering the actors involved in this.

    This is some horribly made rip-off of National treasure and The Da Vince Code. Even though it is only a couple of years old, it looks much more dated than that. I saw nothing in the trailer that inspired me to watch this one.

    I enjoy mysteries and miurders solved. The manuscript holds the key from the past.

    Vinnie Jones x footballer is not to bad as a writer for a paper, believeable in places... not bad for a free movie from the mail...
