Angels & Demons

2009 Mystery & Suspense

Angels and Demons re-teams director Ron Howard and star Tom Hanks for the sequel to their international blockbuster adaptation of Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code. Although the book Angels and Demons was written before the novel The Da Vinci Code, the movie transpires after the events of the earlier movie. Hanks stars as professor Robert Langdon, the most respected symbologist in the United States, who uses his knowledge in order to decode a symbol on the skin of a murder victim. The clues put him on the trail of an international conspiracy involving the Catholic Church. Ewan McGregor and Ayelet Zurer also star in the Sony Pictures production.

Director: Ron Howard

Starring: Tom Hanks, Ayelet Zurer, Ewan McGregor, Stellan Skarsgard, Pierfrancesco Favino

Reviews

  • This kind of film requires us to be very forgiving, and if we are, it promises to entertain. Angels & Demons succeeds.

    Roger Ebert - The Chicago Sun-Times

  • The new movie is an opulent-bordering-on-hysterical mass of chitchat and chase scenes.

  • The movie can be enjoyed for the hell-raising hooey it is.

    Peter Travers - Rolling Stone

    19 January 2013

  • This movie, without being particularly good, is nonetheless far less hysterical than "Da Vinci."

    A.O. Scott - The New York Times

  • Angels doesn't know when to quit: Just when you think it's over, it continues.
