Priest
Did you ever go into a movie and expect it to be good based on the trailer and the premise? Then 10 minutes into the film you are still hoping that it will end up being a great movie but you know that it will not be? Well that movie is Priest.
The movie is about a priest who disobeys the church law to track down the vampires who kidnapped his niece. The desert landscape CGI effects are beautiful to watch but that's it. Paul Bettany is a good character actor (see The Tourist) but he fails in making you care about his delimma. Then Cam Gadget shows up and tries to show his acting talents which is as thin a a string of floss. He dreams that he is Steve McQueen in this movie (not literally but he must have seen The Magnificent Seven 100 times based on his performance) but his acting talents make watching him a nightmare. Finally the sexy Maggie Q from the television show Nikkita shows up and she is boring and makes watching paint dry a pleasurable experience.
Verdict:
Why was this not sent straight to the $4.99 DVD?
