Same cake, different icing.

Rating: 7/10 (5 May 2019)

First, it's okay entertainment and Tom Hanks is great as usual and the film does follow the novel quite well. The problem is that the cat is out of the bag. What I mean is the film simply can't generate the tension nor the surprizes as did the Da Vinci Code because you already know what to expect from having seen the Da Vinci code. Lastly, the plot lacks the sharp twists and turns which one might expect from a fast moving mystery.
Don't get me wrong, it's good entertainment on its own, but you won't be as riveted as you might have been by the Da Vinci code.
