Our take on The Da Vinci Code

Ron Howard's 2006 mystery thriller opens with a murder inside the Louvre and a trail of cryptic clues hidden in Leonardo da Vinci's most famous paintings. Unraveling them leads a symbologist toward a centuries-old secret guarded by a hidden society, one whose exposure could shake the foundations of Christian belief. Howard keeps the puzzle-box structure moving through codes, historical riddles and a race across European landmarks, favoring brisk plotting over deeper character work. It rewards viewers who enjoy conspiracy-driven mysteries and don't mind heavy exposition, and its provocative religious premise is best approached as speculative fiction. Those seeking twisty intrigue over subtlety will find plenty to chew on.
