symbologist robert langdon ( hank ) be call to rome to help decipher the mystery behind the illuminati before a new science experiment blow up the city . the da vinci code break record in 2006 but for the vast majority of dan brown follower it do not do his award win book justice and though run at a good 2 and a half hour and seem to bore many . have read the book and i be perhaps one of the few who enjoy tom hank and audrey tautou attempt to solve the mystery of the murder in the louvre but for angel and demon the scale be raise once more a lead star and director return . have ask around and most people seem to prefer angel and demon to the da vinci code for an entertaining read and it seem a critique and fan and whilst still not fully justified and prefer this late adaptation to the 2006 release . this howard picture certainly have a more clinical energy and exercise to it a unlike da vinci and tom hank robert langdon have only one night to solve the mysterious activity of the forgotten illuminati in the vatican and because of the time limitation and the action and desperation up the ante and deliver an excitement that certainly beat the da vinci code but also generate plenty of twist and stun murder sequence . the interesting factor of this 2009 release be the constant element be justify for the murder . earth and wind and water and fire be all include in drastic and powerful sequence to pronounce a feeling of overall power to the situation . this really do justify the tag of thriller with a constant tension and sharp drama with the issue and beliefs once more give a full working over . just like 3 year ago and there be many debate and discovery of symbol once believe to be lose forever and langdon be again the key character to show everyone the light in and amongst the controversy of other press circumstance . it be fair to say dan brown be a complex writer while he certainly like to cram issue and drama in amongst his action and thrilling sequence . as well a try to discover the illuminati and there be also the scenario of the election of a new pope and the dealing with a new scientific experiment and the power of religion be again present . all interesting to discover and listen to and if occasionally the debate and dialogue tend to send your mind drift but a there be so much in the novel and this be always likely . ron howard and who keep a frankly ordinary type of direction roll in da vinci and return in perhaps the bad way possible . his jerky ever move camera styling do nothing to keep the pressure up and and we can never fully accept what be happen on screen thanks to this frankly awfully portrayed style . he be certainly no paul greengrass and this be by no mean bourne . slick and stylize this be fast and more interesting than da vinci .
