a real sleeper

Rating: 2/10 (18 May 2006)

Saw the film last night in the cinema despite being able to view, had i wished to, a bootleg DVD of it weeks ago...
Ron Howard's latest effort, literally put me to sleep. i found myself nodding off several times, especially towards the end. Dan Brown's cinematographic writing style has not been translated effectively to the cinema. His short crisp chapters, that should have made for fast paced scenes and a plot that moved, didn't work in this instance. elements of the book's plot were missing and suspense just never was there. if you haven't read the book before you see the film it will be hard to follow...
save your money. or better yet donate it to a charity...
