Audience Member A treasure trail story a little like the Da Vinci Code but with "real magic" thrown in for good measure. This is a very clumsily put together mishmash of ideas with a lousy script, wooden portrayal of 2D characters and some of the most clumsy, in-your-face exposition I've ever seen. I guess the director would claim that the film's failure to explain certain key elements adds to the air of mysticism but it only serves to convince me that he didn't have a clue. I would have marked this turkey even lower but for the pretty locations that abound throughout - that said, I could get more locations and less drivel from a travel show. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member DaVinci-code-esque action-mystery with some Omen III... fascinating premise. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member The only thing God has to do with this movie is how God awful it is. The performances are wooden at best by the greatest wooden actors - Terence Stamp and Udo Kier. Natasha Wightman is the best looking part of the movie, during the ritualistic sex thing. Otherwise, she called in her performance from far away. Don't waste your time. This is Omen + Davinici Code + Travel.com video = don't waste your time.
