On Film, "The Da Vinci Code" Breaks Down
"The Da Vinci Code" is, if not exactly good, at least watchable during its first hour. After that, the film simply breaks down. The long stretches of dialogue are punishing, the pacing leaden, the visuals dark and uninviting. What's more, the story absurdly tries to wrap a faith-affirming ribbon around its church-bashing package.
