OK, sorta "Indiana Jones"/"The Game" mixture. But shoddy history.

Rating: 4/10 (23 May 2006)

Cast, director, genre, and polish save the film from absolutely awful. It's still worth seeing if you want a mediocre mix of Indiana Jones type stuff with "the game." The theory behind it is primarily bunk, with major historical errors re council of Nicea, some unnecessary overly general slugging of Christianity's view of women, and some great embellishments re Opus Dei and other groups and past events. Good choices for cast. Of course, the main reason this film will do well is because of the cast. The other booster group will be pretty much anybody who wants a movie to slave any pre-existing prejudices they have concerning organized religion, people of faith, or the church in general. Go see the film, but if you're interested in it for the theory, make sure you read some reputable academic history on this stuff first.
