The Rite (2011)
Rating: 5.5/10
Honestly, not terrible... at least not as bad as people make it out to be. Visually, it was a good looking movie with nice cinematography. The possession scenes were executed nicely and the FVX was solid. Hopkins' performance was above average as well. It was slow moving, but kept me interested.
Ultimately, the films downfall is two-part.
First, the lead actor (Colin O'Donoghue) is really weak. He has very limited range. For the majority of the movie he defaults to "furled brow" look. He wasn't convincing whatsoever in this role and it took me out of it.
Second, the main protagonist was underdeveloped. This was a significant issue because his past plays a large role in the overall plot of the film. To build a table, you must have four legs to stand on. This character didn't.
Give it a look if you've got a few hours, but don't bank on it for date night.
