Good but not brilliant

Rating: 7/10 (21 May 2006)

This is one of those films where you need to read the book first or at least have a passing knowledge of the Holy Grail, Knights, the Catholic Church and Opus Dei! Poor Silas is not an ordinary hit-man! He is God's hit-man.
Oh! by the way. You need to read the Bible as well before you are qualified to watch this movie! Might help to know a little bit about London and Paris both of which are not in America. What I mean is the customs are very different on this side of the Big Pond! Once you understand the above go and watch the movie on the big screen. I found it entertaining but not brilliant. Audrey Tautou was good and Tom Hanks was acceptable. There was no 'Love Interest' as such but the relationship between Langdon and Sophie is more of a father-daughter relationship. Remember that the poor girl never really knew her father.
