Decent suspense thriller

Rating: 7/10 (16 December 2012)

Symbologist Robert Langdon gets involved in the aftermath of a sinister killing at the Louvre which, in turn, leads to a quest to uncover the secrets of hidden messages relating to interpretations of Da Vinci's Last Supper.
This is an intriguing and exciting thriller which adapts Dan Brown's pacey and thought-provoking novel very well. It never stops to draw breath (which may be just as well!) and is decently performed and well directed.
I have two criticisms. One, Tom Hanks seems miscast and, two, the film seems to think it is a lot more significant than it is. Ultimately, it is no more than a decent suspense thriller and the mock religious resonances are actually neither here nor there.
