Most helpful review The Sin Eater

  • Horrible film and terribly boring.

    Rated - 1.0 star

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    After bombing in the US, the film makers must have thought long and hard about what to do to make this film seem more interesting to British audiences. So they renamed it from The Order to The Sin Eater. It doesn't matter what the film is called however, either way it still ends up being one of the most painful to watch films I have ever seen.

    The plot is not only silly and slow, but there is simply nothing interesting about it. You never get to engage with any of the characters as you never really want to care for them and the humour they tried to inject into certain scenes of the film was misplaced and simply lame.

    Whoever came up with the bright idea of reuniting half the cast of A Knight's Tale for this film (hey if it rocked, hy shouldn't this?' will be regretting it now.

    This film is not interesting.

    This film has a boring, nonsensical plot.

    This film is in NO WAY scary.

    This film rivals Gigli for worst of 2003

    This film is THAT bad.

    Heath Ledger is excellent in this catholic film around the subject of good versus evil. However wasn't his best work, he was better in a Knight's Tale.

    Good graphics .

    The only good bit was Heath Ledger; the rest sucks. Didin't get to the end because it was rubbish. Boring slow & crap.

    Decided to hire this as Heath Ledger was in it so thought it might be good. It's not very often I actually turn a film off before it's finished, so that gives you an idea of how bad it is!!!

    This was a fantastic film and Heath Ledger was fantastic. If you like the Ninth Gate with Johnny Depp you will love this! Enough said :)

    I didn't really enjoy this the first time I watched it. There was a lot of information to take in and not much seemed to be happening. Really got into it the second time and, in my humble opinion, I think it's a very good film.
