Exotic locales add some visual appeal to an otherwise lackluster thriller about Catholic corruption that becomes progressively more absurd.

A movie about a gun-toting priest, working for ... a top-secret office of the Vatican, probably shouldn't be as dull and formulaic as The Man from Rome.

Rated: 1/4

One Guy's Opinion

it’s barely penetrable as narrative and quite dull to boot—a perfect reflection of its flat new title... you can safely skip this tedious would-be thriller.

Rated: D+

A monotonous, lethargic and underwhelming bore that's low on thrills and suspense.

“The Man from Rome” isn’t nearly as exciting or freewheeling as a could be, working to maintain a sense of importance with a premise that’s meant for B-movie pleasures.

Rated: C

... Timely yet strange, at once involuntarily funny yet decidedly serious. [Full review in Spanish]

I can't figure out the low rating. It kept me interested and had twists that I didn't expect. Richard Armitage is a fine actor who always turns in an excellent performance. His co-stars were also excellent. I don't know what people want from movies. I rented it from Amazon and thought it was worth every penny and would have paid full admission had it come to a theater near me.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This is my first review as I was very surprised by the low reviews. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and found it no more bizarre than many other thrillers - maybe it was my Catholic upbringing. It is not your fast action unbelievable thriller with unreal action series. I thought it had a good well thought out plot even though it might seem a bit unbelievable to some - but most thrillers do! I loved the ending that filled in one of the gaps in the movie as so often the endings are cut short and you are left wondering about a particular section of the movie. This movie is not one if you are looking for a fast action scary thriller but one that intrigues.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
