Warning the Review Gives Examples of Why the Story makes No sense.

Rating: Null/10 (20 November 2011)

The plot follows Harvard symbolist Robert Langdon, as he tries to stop the Illuminati, a legendary secret society, from destroying Vatican City. The bad guys have conveniently agreed to hide at the end of a secret path. Along the path is art work that provides clues to the next step. The problem is the viewer is lead around by the nose with facile explanations where anything can mean anything. It is like when a statue points East. It seems that he should go East but wait the statue used to point West. He needs to find a statue of the angel of peace but when Langdon finds a statue of a dove he declares that it is the statue he seeks.
The plot would never get off the ground except for two killers who seem to have super human powers. The first one knows exactly what everyone will do and exactly where they will be. He uses this power to enact outrageous murder plots. The other has the power to prevent people from protecting themselves while he is killing them. Policemen come up to him guns drawn and they stare at him while he shoots them. He pulls a gun out of another policeman's hand, tells him everything is alright and then shoots him. Policemen on high alert walk by him and he shoots them in the back. It seems people would rather watch the man in shock then defend themselves.
The move has a great background but it makes no sense.
