One Paragraph Review: The Da Vinci Code

I was one of the six or so people who didn't read the book a few years back and managed to catch this on TV over the weekend. I had basically no expectations of the movie itself and found it to be exceptionally entertaining. Dan Brown's story is exciting and interesting, even to someone like myself, who knows as close to nothing about religious history as one can reasonably get. The film is competently directed, with a great cast and a quick, exciting pace that doesn't leave the viewer behind. Of course, I can't speak to (or really care about) the movie's historical or religious accuracy, but it's certainly fun and entertaining.
