Religious thriller concerns a kidnapping plot of the 4 leading Cardinals being considered for the Papacy, for which a successor is needed. Fast moving, visually stunning sequel to The Da Vinci Code, is an even more exciting race against time than its predecessor. Unfortunately the story could have benefited from some romance or humor amidst all the impenetrable dialogue. These people talk and talk and then they talk some more. Director Ron Howard’s beautiful location shooting in Rome improves the story which ultimately climaxes into preposterousness. An action packed, but flawed diversion.
