THE DA VINCI CODE
August 3, 2013  | By David Bianculli

Fox Movie Channel, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

Ron Howard directed this 2006 movie with the deck stacked against him: So many people were so aware, and enamored of, Dan Brown’s bestseller that even the book’s biggest fans would come to the movie expecting either too much or too little. But the screenplay gets points for being faithful to the book, and Tom Hanks is a credible “symbologist” hero, and there are, indeed, some good set pieces and some fabulous scenery. On a slow TV night, which this is, I’ll take it. Audrey Tautou co-stars.
