I expected a lot from this film as Lanvin and Karyo are big names in cinema no matter where you live. It surpassed my expectations by miles. The dialog is thought provoking, the plot contains enough twists to keep you hooked, but does so with finesse rather than going over the top. All the actors/actresses are well cast at no point did I feel anyone was in the wrong part or unconvincing. The action was perfectly balanced with the plot, too much would have spoiled it, too little and it wouldn't be much of a crime film. The settings were good, as was the style in which it was filmed. I don't want to describe the story as I think it's so good that it is worth watching with no preconceptions. For me a standout film, one of the best I have seen in a long time and the director should be applauded. Its subtitled but they were flawless and at no point did it occur to me that the lack of English sound was a problem. I would heartily recommend watching.

Night of the Templar
(2012)
Pointless
10 July 2012
Now I know there are some people on here that loved this film due to the handsome male lead or whatever and there are also some (probably one) psycho(s) trying to trash this film under a variety of pseudonyms. Having seen all the controversy I decided to watch Night of the templar and see what all the fuss was about. So the plot was quite thin, I didn't engage with any of the gents or ladies that would be loosely described as having acted in this film. It was obviously done on a low budget which is fine if the tale being spun is interesting. I feel like the time I spent watching this movie was not time well spent, and I struggled to finish it. I'd describe it as being a sub-par si-fy effort and I'm appalled Carradine would put his name to it. Not the worst movie I've ever seen but its definitely up there.... Hope nobodies offended by my putting my ten pence worth in :)
