The tagline leads you to believe that it is a revelatory thriller in the vein of Davinci Code but it is not.
The core element is correct but the story is more of a cop thriller but I have to say it is very well done, as long as you like that sort of thing.
The character's are likeable enough and I thought the secondary main character was really well done and, for once in a story, it wasn't a cliched ending.
