Treasure of the Knights Templar, codes, Catholic Church. Combine, switch out Nick Cage/Tom Hanks for Mira Sorvino, make her a single mother and blend until utterly bland. They make an Indiana Jones crack early on, probably to distract you from the obvious ripoffs of National Treasure.

A shame, because I like Mira Sorvino (she does looks great in this movie and half the shots are of her legs or derrière, also to distract you), Scott Foley and Victor Garber. If the writers had half the ability of one of these three actors it would have been much better, or never even made. This one belongs on the Lifetime Movie Channel, not NBC.

Three stars out of ten

In college a buddy of mine came in with a tape of what he claimed was the worst movie ever committed to celluloid, or whatever they had been using in 1974. We asked him why we'd want to watch something like that, and he replied that part of it had been filmed on campus! It was a Saturday night with class out of session, so with nothing to go along with the sizable supply of beer we had in the fridge, we said why not.

All you need to know about the movie: 1) A fight with a Yeti in a snowstorm is actually the negative of the print. 2) The Yeti wears tennis shoes. 3) The mute Indian looks more Italian than Al Pacino. 4) The Yeti runs down a long warehouse aisle to a loading dock to attack one of the students in the middle of the woods, then cuts to the actual attack, where he falls like he'd been pushed over.

This movie cried out for the MST3K treatment, but alas, it was not to be.
