Watch this compelling and stunning production and you'll be itching for a first hand look at Louis grand vision. Brilliant acting. Incredible casting and costumes. Constantly dramatic and absorbing. You feel like an eye witness to history and political issues of the time are developed so you grasp both sides and can foresee the consequences. Wonderfully filed epic not to be missed.

Exceedingly impressive production values, credible and sensitive acting, brilliant casting, beautiful and accurate background, thoughtful and convincing dialogue make this a standout production. Likely far above the heads of most critics and many moviegoers dumbed down by decades of mediocrity. Compelling.

This movie is a smart, absorbing and different take on the Vatican, exposing the high stakes politicking and personal vanities that impact the actions of the Church. There are no saints in this movie, only real people played with empathy and unusual perspective. A very young Christopher Reeves takes on a challenging role and pulls off the complexity and credibility the movie calls for. The supporting cast is excellent, a joy to watch. The movie keeps you guessing and praying. This is not a movie for dullards, if you appreciate an intelligent and compelling movie, try this one. It will surprise you, pleasantly. It tackles a subject matter that is very timely now with the various Church conspiracy books fad, such as "The Da Vinci Code." I am trying to find more information on the subject of the movie, presumably Archbishop Paul Marcinkus.
