Disgraced priest given a second chance and assigned to investigate a terrorist organization that wants to destroy God.
Vague, confusing and self-indulgent exercise in metaphysics and easy visuals as this priest who speaks perfect English runs around Rome in 2 time streams.
Looks like it was actually shot in Rome and the outside of the Vatican at least. Mildly amusing but poorly structured and edited. Felt like a TV episode of...something. Felt like scenes were missing.
Ends up being some sort of lesson on faith. A cheap way out.
That's what I get for wasting $1.25 at Dollar Tree. Okay...plus tax.

If you read and liked G.K. Chesterton's novel, you will definitely hate this movie. If you didn't read the novel, you will probably also hate this movie.

Should have had a different title
To say that this movie was based on Chesterton's novel is a stretch to say the least. The names are the same. There are a couple of loosely associated similarities in the story line. However, the point, the ideas, the philosophy bear no resemblance. Truly disappointing. Chesterton would be sick to know that his story had been so warped and that the product of that derangement was presented in such a base fashion with his title associated.
