This movie has been slighted by the reviewers. It's outstanding! The book was a page-turner, and the movie keeps up with it. Every minute is filled with suspense, and it's visually beautiful. I feel like I've been on a whirlwind mystery tour of Europe. The directing and acting are superb. At first, I didn't think that Tom Hanks was a good choice for Robert, but after seeing him, I think he was perfect. Audrey Tatou was extremely good as well, along with all the supporting actors.
I can't see how this story would shake anyone's faith; it does invite questions, which in my mind is always a good thing. But mostly it's an enjoyable thriller.
