I can't believe that anybody has a good thing to say about this movie. It's full of old hoary clichés about the Catholic Church; full of unnecessary filler-type sub-plots; the main plot centres around a series of truly preposterous killings in which the names of the victims are related to the 10 Commandments (although in some cases, the link is pretty tenuous); the dialogue is awful (Elmore Leonard really had an off-day with this one); and the acting atrocious. Donald Sutherland has made some good movies - "Don't Look Now", for instance - but he's also had his share of shockers, and this one ranks right up there. The vacant, sleep-walking style adopted in this film gets tiresome very quickly. None of the other actors has much to do, and they all act accordingly, as though they really had better things to do.
It gets 1/10 because I watched it to the end - a mistake, perhaps, since the end was as ludicrous as the rest, but maybe I was hoping Donald might get something to wake him up. Like a bullet.
