i knew it was going to be bad when.......


........the cardinal in the Vatican says to Antonio Banderas,"You know, not many of our priests are ex combat soldiers"

Ooooooohh boy. Its worse than the cook who's a top navy seal, ala Under Siege.

But at least Antonio Banderas character was more realistic than the cook, and Banderas is a much better actor than Seagal.

I think what he was saying is that it is a poor plot point for this kind of movie. It forshadows that he will be using his combat skills later on. And I agree with him on that point.

However I think the movie itself was pretty good. I have said in other threads that I think it was poorly directed, but I think the story and the acting were good, although a little understated.

And I also agree that Under Siege was pretty bad. Aweful, actually. Except I did like the line when the bad guys locked him in the pantry, and he lets of a string of threats and then tells them to get his pies out of the oven.

I agree. I laughed out loud when I heard that line. Good basic idea but not that well (even though I havn't finished it)

I don't see the problem... why do you have a problem with this?
