It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
In Priest, Iain Glen's Jack Taylor comes to the help of the Father Malachy who looked after his dying mother. He has received threats and another priest has been found murdered with his head decapitated.Jack enters a world of child abuse and that consequences of the abuse. The murdered priest was vile, a child abuser and a rapist. Other people are getting killed and there is a land developer and his clingy sister who seems to be dictating things and getting in Jack's way.No doubt that some of the writing is rather clunky, it cannot go unnoticed that despite being an alpha male, the hard drinking, hard living but skint Jack seems to be a magnet in attracting female attention.Still the mystery remains fairly strong and the story of child abuse in the priesthood in Ireland is topical.
