The code is broken. Into pieces. Then stamped on.

akiva goldsman should hang his head in shame, after writing one poor screenplay. TOM HANKS'S performance was mediocre, but I don't actually blame him for that. Who I blame is GOLDSMAN for writing such a rubbish adaptation of what was one of the best books that I have ever read. AUDREY TAUTOU's performance, was I think better than TOM HANKS'S, but only just. the only reason why I didn't give this film a 1 start was because of JEAN RENO who plays CAPTAIN FACHE, He was brilliant, and stole the show from the rest of the cast. which includes PAUL BETTANY as SILAS, and ALFRED MOLINA ( DOCTOR OCTOPUS, SPIDER-MAN 2) who's performance's I thought were okay. The direction by RON " HAPPY DAYS" HOWARD was bog standard, he has done better and should have done better here. Heres some advice, DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY and DON'T THROW AWAY THE TIME THIS FILM TAKES UP FROM YOUR LIFE.
