This is a brilliant and unpretentious movie to raise the bar for contemporary popular entertainment, designed for the upper-tier thinkers at the multiplex.
Intelligent thriller.
An intriguing mix of the familiar and the alien. DaFoe's distinctly American speech patterns are a little jarring amid a tangle of British inflections (French actor Cassel's accent is justified within the story), but it doesn't spoil the film's overall effect.
Seems overstuffed and, in its own way, preachy.
The story never gathers much dramatic momentum despite an impressive cast and a lot of dank Middle Ages atmosphere.
Emphatically acted, ponderous, and ultimately a little silly.
The crucial evidence has to do with rigor mortis. The movie's a stiff too.
