Angels and Demons (2009)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: col/2.35:1 138m
Director: Ron Howard
Cast: Tom Hanks, Ewan McGregor, Ayelet Zurer, Stellan Skarsgård, Armin Mueller-Stahl

Synopsis:

Robert Langdon is called upon to help the Vatican Police when the Papacy is threatened by its age-old enemy, the Illuminati.

Review:

A topical MacGuffin, the Large Hadron Collider, is called into service for a preposterous yarn combining Name of the Rose-style deaths and detection with Papal mistrust and skullduggery. To cap it all, Langdon's agnosticism is even given a suspect tweaking in the concluding scene with the Camerlengo (papal confidante). It's all great fun, orchestrated with panache and kitted out with top-drawer upholstering and effects work (even with what they can do these days there must have been an uncommon amount of cooperation from the Vatican), and it is fascinating to gain such an insight into the workings of the election system and the various churches around Rome.
