This is a french film about a strange cult and a number of killings that take place "mimicing the deaths of the 12 Apostles" (so says the box). Having not seen the first Crimson Rivers, I had no idea what to expect. BTW, it has both Christopher Lee and Jean Reno in it (and this film is subtitled).
The Good:
The scenery is quite interesting in the film.
The directing is pretty good.
There is a chase scene early in the film between a killer monk and a cop that is spectacular.
Cool gadget at the beginning that can see through walls.
Christopher Lee.
The Bad:
The plot was not well defined or perhaps I didn't find it engaging enough to try and follow.
The are a few moments that were too obviously foreshadowing.
Jesus? - (Trust me, it was just weird.)
The end's pacing seemed off.
Overall: I give it one Matrix Revolutions (meaning, "I'm happy I saw it but wouldn't really want to see it again.).
