Angels and Demons

Director Ron Howard has returned to the work of Dan Brown, following 2006’s The Da Vinci Code.

This time, scientists with a grudge against the Catholic Church decide to kill the Pope and steal antimatter from the Large Hadron Collider. Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) has to solve clues to stop the antimatter turning Rome into a large ravine. If you’re thinking ‘Why leave clues?’ then you’re watching the wrong film.

Angels and Demons is a fast-paced, undemanding thriller, and better than its predecessor.
