Think about how bad you thought this movie would be. Now make it a little bit worse. There, you’ve got the Da Vinci Code. So why did I go see it, if I thought it would be bad? Because there’s a week spot in my heart for mystery-adventures. Especially if Audrey Tautou is in them. She was her usual charming self (Even while driving a speeding car backwards, now that’s a trick!). Tom Hanks oozed good-guy charm and confusion by turn - sometimes even at the same time. Ian McKellen played the rich eccentric as a cross between Richard III and Doc Ock. The writing was so bad, it was really all any of them could do. Amusing bit of fluff, but not worth the time.
