The "Code" for Success

Rating: 10/10 (15 November 2006)

Ron Howard's 2006 movie, "The Da Vinci Code" was one of the best of it's year. I really enjoyed the novel by Dan Brown, who also wrote the novels "Angels and Demons" and "Deception Point" and the movie was equally enjoyable. Tom Hanks did an amazing performance as Robert Langdon and I think it is one of his best performances ever. I believe the breakout role in this picture is the character of Silas, played by Paul Bettany. The action in the movie moved a lot faster than it did in the book but was no problem for me. The ending was magnificent. It would fall into the same category of such films as The Indiana Jones Trilogy and "National Treasure." A must-see.
