Synopsis: Robert Langdon (Hanks) is contacted by the Vatican to investigate the kidnapping of the four cardinals favorite for replacing the recently deceased Pope.
Review: Very much in line with The Da Vinci Code, this movie takes us back to finding clues and decyphering codes in a beautiful town, this time Rome. The topic of ages-old conflict between Church an Science is a very well chosen one, and some of the discussions the characters have on this topic are interesting. The reaction of the characters are sometimes out of place, but in general is it pretty good. Beautiful aerial views of Rome make me want to go and visit the city. I didn't choose on purpose to watch this movie a few days after the resignation of the Pope, but it is a funny coincidence.
Rating: 6 /10
