Review of The Man from Rome

I love Richard Armitage, but the Spanish actors are really bad. Particularly A. Salamance is intolerable. All in all, this is a wannabe thriller that has nothing but predictable cliches to offer. The church and politicians are both corrupt and filling their coffres on the back of the poor, but oh so faithful Catholics. Include unimaginative camera takes, shallow dialogue and poor motivation to act for the main character (no stakes at all) and you have a movie that is really boring as hell, if you do not happen to be into 18th century architecture, that is. I only gave it 4 stars because I really do like Richard Armitage.
