Who the *¤%& cast this movie?

Rating: 6/10 (21 July 2009)

It is clear that one cannot make a film as explicit as the book. But still, one should strive to make it as close as possible.
To make it as close as absolutely possible, the caster should read the book over several times. It is necessary to find the absolutely right persons to cover the various role, as I am sure most viewers are in accord with.
However, the role of the Camerlengo, couldn't have been cast worse. THIS IS NOT A ROLE FOR Ewan McGregor. He was so bleak portraying this character, that it is difficult to see any defense for this casting.
BUT THERE IS ANOTHER CASTING that is equally worse, and It is clear to see that somebody chose Nikolaj Lie Kaas to play the Assassin, is so far off the mark that even Ewan McGregors role in the film can be defended - - - The Assassin is described by Dan Brown in vivid colors of personage. And none of these colors are present in Nikolaj Lie Kaas' character.
That such a potentially exciting film should be destroyed by such traits, is sad... so, so sad.
