Bland and just under mediocre.

Rating: 5/10 (19 May 2006)

I went into the theater with low expectations in hopes of it having a great effect on me; however, I still left feeling disappointed. Things were just too predictable, as well as unbelievable (and not in the conspiracy sense, but as in the situations the characters get themselves into).
Tom Hanks seemed almost miscast in his part, IMO, it's the worst acting he's done yet. Even the musical score wasn't up to par. There hardly seemed to be any chemistry between the actors; although, Ian McKellen played his part well.
I suppose I would still recommend this to any Catholic friends just for the simple fact that it has to with a scandal involving Jesus and the Holy Grail; although, I wouldn't even mention it being a thriller. It may serve as a good time killer while cooking dinner. Then once it's done, you could eat your dinner while watching your good movie.
