First, the comment: The Limey was very entertaining, but then I have a real soft spot for English gangster noir and this was exactly that, set in Hell-A.
Second: Did anyone, and I mean anyone think The Davinci Code was a good book? Dan Brown can come up with a whiz-bang plot or two, but jee-ZUS is he a bad writer! He makes Michael Crichton look like Steinbeck. It is 2-D hack airplane writing at its most lame. His characters grow and develop and have such sparkling and revealing dialog that you might have mistaken his prose for Tom Clancy.
In short, should make an excellent Summer Block-Buster type movie.
