Notes et avis

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.
