Seek the Truth in "The Da Vinci Code"

Rating: 10/10 (21 August 2015)

This film is truly controversial, just as how the book is. Some people consider the content of this work of fiction as offensive to Jesus Christ. I can remember how this was hot topic here in the Philippines and this got an R-18, the MTRCB's equivalent to the MPAA's NC-17. Guys, guys, this is a mystery thriller film! This is a work of fiction, so calm down.
Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) finds himself framed up for a crime he didn't commit in France. He gets help from Sophie (Audrey Tautou) and Sir Leigh Teabing (Ian McKellen) and together they unravel a secret hidden for two thousand years.
I love how the film behaves like a treasure hunt movie. The film nicely shoots on France and England. I like how good the pace runs despite dropping historical details. The tension burn alive as the deadly assassin pursues Langdon and his companions in the race to find an ancient treasure. I love how red herrings and Chekhov's guns are excellently devised in this film.
See this as a work of fiction and a mystery thriller, okay? Just enjoy the problem-solving the film has to offer.
