See Da Vinci Code and Sleeeeep

Rating: 2/10 (20 May 2006)

I couldn't believe that a movie directed by Ron Howard and starring Tom Hanks, Paul Bettany, and Jean Reno could be as uninteresting as this sedative was. I am highly skeptical about the whole premise of the story before I went, but I thought that Ron and Tom would provide a good thinking man's mystery/thriller; so I went to see it. The quality was as poor as most of the major network thriller movie fair (like the recent stinker about bird flu); I was astonished and felt like I was scammed. The characters were dull and uninteresting (how low can Jean Reno sink? He was excellent in The Professional), the story line unconvincing, and the movie was trying so hard to push the idea that Christianity was a fairy tale that it lost track of its purpose; to entertain! I will not recommend this film to anyone and I hope Ron Howard, Tom Hanks, and Jean Reno join Paul Bettany in self flagellation as penance for foisting this dog on the movie going public.
