A dull history lesson

Rating: 2/10 (21 September 2019)

I enjoyed the first 10-20 minutes or so, but once the plot really kicked in, I lost interest very quickly. The script is long and bloated, packed with endless dialogue about history, religion, symbols, paintings, more history and more religion. A lot of it feels unnecessary and overdone. The trail of clues that the characters follow is slow and bogged down by all of these 'history lessons' that are fed to the audience along the way. After a while, all of the facts and clues just start to blend into one another.
You feel every second of the 2.5 hour runtime. The silly and contrived twists along the way don't help either. I personally cannot recommend it.
