Murder and the Vatican.

Rating: 6/10 (18 December 2009)

Director Ron Howard and star Tom Hanks re-team for the sequel to the highly accepted blockbuster THE DA VINCI CODE, although the book Angels and Demons was written first. Hanks stars as Robert Langdon, the most respected symbologist in the United States. He will be summoned for his knowledge in order to decipher a symbol on the skin of a murder victim. Soon Langdon once again finds himself deeply involved in an international conspiracy that is embedded in the Catholic Church. All information will lead to the naming of a new Pope.
At times very sluggish; and then there are the rapid consequences that seem above your head. I found this film more hype than substance. The finale is actually the best part of the movie; suspenseful with eye-catching action. Also starring are: Ewan McGregor, Ayelet Zurer, Stellan Skarsgard, Cosimo Fusco and Nikoaj Lie Kaas.
