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.

D+

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.

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.

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

Another slowly told story and complacent editing by film makers who forget there is an audience watching. And that the audience is neither infatuated with their photography (cut cut cut the endless shots!!!!) nor complete morons.

Nice drama and mystery with wonderful visuals. If you have a Catholic background you get a little extra to appreciate and ponder.

Definitely worth a watch. Think Thorn Birds meets with Dan Brown plot and Richard Armitage as flawed priest hero. I enjoyed it.

Wasn't expecting that much given the critic responses but not too bad, quite enjoyed it.

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.
