The Da Vinci Code
(USA, 2006, 145 minutes)
An American historian and a French cryptologist try to discover who murdered her grandfather and why, and find out the murder is connected to a centuries-old quest for the Holy Grail. Old-fashioned, disposable potboiler from a wildly successful novel; dull, overlong and in need of a stronger directing hand, enlivened only by a couple of strong performances.
Columbia Pictures and Imagine Entertainment present, in association with Skylark Productions, a Brian Grazer/John Calley production. Starring Tom Hanks, Audrey Tautou, Ian McKellen, Alfred Molina, Jürgen Prochnow; with Paul Bettany; and Jean Reno. Directed by Ron Howard; produced by Brian Grazer, Ron Howard and John Calley; screenplay by Akiva Goldsman, based upon the novel "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown; music by Hans Zimmer; director of photography, Salvatore Totino; production designer, Allan Cameron; costume designer, Daniel Orlandi; film editors, Daniel Hanley and Mike Hill; visual effects supervisor, Angus Bickerton.
