This film delivers what it promises.

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2006)

After both reading the book and seeing the film, I was surprised that the film was much better. The film tightened up the story greatly which was good because the book got long winded in some places. The pacing of the film keep you involved so the 2 plus hours flew by. The acting was well done with much of the dialog in French as it should be. (I hate to see French actors having to speak English especially when the film takes place in France). Despite how you feel about the theology of Dan Brown the author, the story is engaging and very entertaining. I don't believe that the film is going to undermine anyone's faith and I resent people saying that I or anyone else should't see it. I especially agree with the film's director Ron Howard that we need more films like this to get people talking and asking questions about the history and foundation of the Christian faith so that those who profess to be Christians know why it is that they believe what they believe. Should get best picture of the year.
