Rating: 6/10 (14 September 2010)

Thrillers by nature drop someone in at the deep end, immediately taking them out of their comfort zone. The Da Vinci code, based on the bestselling book by Dan Brown, follows suit by taking symbologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks), into a fast paced pursuit to find the true meaning behind a suspicious murder. The dead body has significance because it has a symbol on it, which opens up a religious conspiracy long forgotten but no less dangerous.
The film takes true thriller form with a truly complicated plot which will leave you thinking about the film long after it has finished. Instead of the conventional agencies used in thrillers, he is chased around Europe by a religious cult, Opus Dei; therefore creating a fresh take on thriller films. At this point a comparison would be necessary however there are no films like this, so this opens a up a new sub genre of thriller which captivated the audience. Overall the film is a good watch and we don't discourage you from seeing it but if you want the full ride of the Da Vinci Code buy the book.
