A great thriller! Wow, it is amazing!

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2006)

This is the best, most exciting thriller I have ever seen! I find it pretty astonishing that some reviewers have called this film "boring," when in reality it doesn't even have ONE MINUTE that you are not on the edge of your seat! First of all, it is a great thriller, and you are always trying to figure out who did it and who the real good guys and bad guys are.
Second, the performances are unbelievably good. If Ian McKellan doesn't win an Academy Award for his performance I will be shocked. He was MADE for this role. Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou are also perfect for their roles. All the supporting characters were also perfect, from the French FBI agents, to the Opus Dei people, everyone.
Third, this movie is stunning just to LOOK at. It is the most visually fascinating film I think I ever saw. Beautiful, amazing, dazzling.
Do not believe those who bad-mouth this film. They have an agenda and they are terrified that people will start thinking.
