Dan Brown's international bestseller comes alive in the film The Da Vinci Code, directed by Ron Howard with a screenplay by Akiva Goldsman. Join symbologist Robert Langdon (Academy Award® winner Tom Hanks, 1993 Best Actor, Philadelphia, and 1994 Best Actor, Forrest Gump) and cryptologist Sophie Neveu (Audrey Tautou) in their heart-racing quest to solve a bizarre murder mystery that will take them from France to England - and behind the veil of a mysterious ancient society, where they discover a secret protected since the time of Christ. With first-rate performances by Sir Ian McKellen, Alfred Molina and Jean Reno, critics are calling The Da Vinci Code "involving"* and "intriguing,"* "a first rate thriller."**

This movie left a bad taste in my mouth after seeing it in the theaters (too much hype I guess) but after seeing it at home again it was much better the second time. The type of movie that is better at home, you know? I really liked Tom Hanks' portrayal of the main character, and they really did manage to turn a suspenseful talkative story into an actually suspenseful enjoyable film.

Dan Brown suffers from delusional schizophrenia. His readers and viewers are merely his brainwashed subjects. This movie, as purely a work of fiction, is but one tool he uses to keep his followers "hooked" on his preferred drug: lies.

I liked this movie, the who-dun-it had a short suspect list and was a little predictable at the end; however, the historical links, references, and clues were fun to follow and a delight to learn.
