Irland im 13. Jahrhundert: Eine Gruppe Mönche begibt sich auf den lebensgefährlichen Weg nach Rom - im Gepäck ein heiliges Relikt ihres Klosters. Doch die Reise birgt viele Bedrohungen, und mit jedem zurückgelegten Kilometer offenbart sich den Männern die Bedeutung des von ihnen beschützten Heiligtums. Zu spät erkennen sie, dass der Glaube, der sie zu Beginn zusammenhielt, sie nun zu zerstören droht. (Universal Pictures Germany)

A lot of bang for your buck. An atmospheric movie about a pilgrimage during which a group of monks are taking a reliquary to the Pope in Rome to boost the numbers of knights in the Holy War. One of the monks happens to be Spiderman, accompanied by the Punisher as his Sherpa/bodyguard, but there’s more to him than meets the eye. Along the way, they encounter obstacles, get attacked by the natives and the bloodbath begins. Bernthal decapitates heathens with a wooden shield, people are disembowled alive, criminals have their hands chopped off. The ending is appropriately crushing and pointless. Films like this are like gold dust and deserve admiration. Judas!

I can't help it, but these historical gritty movies don't do much for me. I know there is some attempt at a message here, but for me, it just doesn't feel right. It's gritty, but I find it terribly empty in terms of plot. It wants to appeal to the viewer, but at the same time, its pace can be boring, even though there are fights and action scenes. No, this isn't for me.
