Staying up way too long, only to watch a movie that must be boring as hell - that's what I call a Heathen.
Did you find the film as bad as everyone says?
Well, I'd seen it before.
Watching it twice marks me as an even
more rabid Heathen, I suppose.
I posted a list of reviews-in-brief of all the Heath films I'd seen back in early January (?) - at least before you-know-what
- and the following is what I had to say about the Sin Eater. I didn't watch the film to the end tonight, it was going on 2 AM
when I gave up, but as far as I watched it, my opinion didnt' budge at all. The only thing I noticed much more now was Heath's voice.... and the only thing I'd forgotten was the strangeness that this film had half the team from "Knight's Tale" reuniting - it's the same director, and Shannyn Sossamon and Mark Addy are acting in addition to Heath - and yet, what a difference in the overall quality of the films! This one is so pretentious I can't imagine what Heath was thinking when he accepted the role.
Anyway, here's my review-in-brief. (The one-line summary is that Heath looks so gorgeous throughout it that the film is worth watching for that alone. Though now, even *that* joy comes with a bittersweet sadness...)
Heath walks around in this looking absolutely stunning and smoldering and conflicted and angsty and glowering. ** Fans self** That and that alone earns the film its place on this list. Mystic-religious, strange and darkly enigmatic drama, plot and storyline very weird and not by any means intellectually *or* emotionally engaging, and point of same near to completely incomprehensible to me. Annoying and silly. Maybe it makes sense to devout Catholics, though I sincerely doubt that. Then again, Heath’s character ends up as some self-sacrificing sort of demi-god/angel, who is destined to suffer on others’ behalf and therefore will look stunning and smoldering and angsty etc. etc. *all* the time!! while continuing his existence for centuries upon centuries. So that’s clearly a bonus development in the middle of the muddle.
