Robert Langdon gets called in by the Vatican to help solve a crime, prevent the deaths of four cardinals and stop a potential terrorist act.

The casting was perfect; especially with McGregor as a priest and Skarsgard as the police chief. If you thought the first film was too slow, you won't have that problem this time; he bolts from place-to-place slowing down only to figure out the next clue.

There is more than one "oh right" moments in this film that will cause you to shake your head; especially the finale. Much of the film is shot at night so it's dark a lot but when there are day shots of the surroundings, they are spectacular. Without giving it away, my biggest problem with the film will be apparent in the last 15-20 minutes.

I am in the minority when it comes to liking "The Da Vinci Code" as much as I do. This is a fun movie that has a lot more action than its predecessor and a shorter runtime. The problem is I liked the slow/cerebral pace of the first movie; replace Tom Hanks with Nicholas Cage and you might momentarily mistaken this film as another addition to the "National Treasure" franchise. If you liked the first film you owe it to yourself to pick this one up. If you didn't, you should at least give this a chance with a rental. Note, if you watch the unrated version of the film the graphics might be a bit much for children.
