The Code

Rating: 1/10 (24 May 2006)

I understand that mediocrity runs over more than 75% of our planet but when I see it being praised and elevated to this high rank, then I find myself in the situation of being a spectator, crossing my hands and regarding it all with a bitter smile. No chances of straighting things up...
A sub-mediocre writer successfully managed to trigger success with an even sub-mediocre book, now sustained by an awful screen adaptation. I came to realize that actors I admired (i.e. Mr. Hanks) have no morale left (e.g. when accepting to compromise themselves for the sake of success), what to say about the young Audrey who plays pathetically and triggers no emotional feelings - except, perhaps the disgust. Hat's off to sir Ian McKellen adding value to some scenes. Even though he would also deserve less approval.
I see mediocrity enjoying itself at her best. Hat's off Dan Brown! You did it! America - you're the best!
