What
a mess this film is. There are just too many errors which would make it very
difficult to understand but have simply been cut to save expense and screen
time. The opening sequence is very confusing, and only those who have read the
book can really understand what is happening. There’s been a cut of one of the
minor characters who would have explained what was going on, and it’s a shame
that they couldn’t get a second person to jump out of a helicopter. A lot of the
impressive tech that CERN owns which is mentioned in the book has also been
cut. The action sequences are very realistic and can even be gory at times; but
the explosions at the landmarks were amazing. But there’s a lot of dialogue to
get through before the chase gets going, and Vittoria’s background isn’t really
put to much use other than to conduct an autopsy which isn’t her field, leaving
Hanks to be the credible intellectual one.
