Angels and Demons
|
Angels and Demons is a frantic mystery-thriller based on the book by American author Dan Brown and directed by Ron Howard.
When a scientist is found brutally murdered, Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks), a Harvard professor, is asked to decipher the symbols scorched upon the man's chest. Langton unravels the mysteries of the codes, realising that an age-old secret society called the "Illuminati", a brotherhood swarn against Catholicism is active.
When the Pope dies and before conclave can determine the successor, the four cardinals, in line for the position (preferitti) are kidnapped and one-by-one murdered. Langdon must embark on a hunt, following a 400-year old trail through the streets and churches of Rome to try and stop the killing and search for a destructive weapon that could completely wipe out the Vatican City

A fabulous follow-on to the Da Vinci Code - keeps pace all throughout the film, with many twists. Excellent acting from all the main characters and a great ending. Well worth a night in!

Angels and Demons is a fast paced thrill ride and an improvement on the last Dan Brown adaptation the Da Vinci Code. I think that this is better because the race against the clock element (The fact that the cardinal gets murdered every hour until the bomb goes off) allows for some effectively pacey direction from Howard, with some decent set-pieces along the way. The script also tones down the crazier elements of the book, whilst still allowing for a glorious finale when the bomb explodes in the helicopter, which I thought was excellent.
I think that the film was one of the best, if not the best, at the time it was released. I would give this 5/5. -

Verdict
Angels and Demons is a rapid and lively thrill-ride that will keep you glued to your seat - a lot better than the first, but a bit corny in parts.
