Bodrum is the one of the most beautiful place in Turkey. Unfortunately in this movie, she was shown like desert.

The story line isn't so bad, but just about everything else in this TV flick is. Uninspired acting, stereotypical characters and sophomoric writing all wrapped up in a series of trite clichés. You also get mediocre sound and lighting plus capricious editing at no extra charge along with memorable lines like, "I don't know what to believe anymore" and "Mom, you've always told me to follow my dreams".

The main characters, Mira Sorvino and Scott Foley, which you expect to develop some sexual tension never really connect. The dialog between them seem to be mostly flippant one liners and stock "detective speak" plucked from rejected episodes of CSI. You wonder why some of the other characters, like Anthony Lemke are even part of the story. They just seem extraneous.

The promos lured me in and I suffered through the first night, but will skip the finale.

Especially the part about Turkey because I am Turkish. Bodrum was shot like some town from the 3rd world, without even knowing the fact that every single person in Bodrum can speak English and I have never ever seen Bodrum like in the film! Bodrum is just more like Santorini,or a calmer Ibiza but definitely not whats like in the film! And moreover has even its own international airport,a museum of underwater archeology, and a lovely Castle of The Knights of St.John. Some Americans really like to show Turkey like a 3rd. world country -which is not- and if its like that,how on hell I know English! God this is sooo ridiculous!!! And all of a sudden she starts to speak in Turkish,which is very hard to understand what she says even for herself! It has almost nothing the same with the novel, I can understand that the producers did their best to keep it brief but, anyway,though I am quite keen on the history of Templar's, I was not expecting to watch such a mess! Sorry guys but this is nonsense!

This groaner ran in Canada a week earlier than NBC and I don't feel privileged because of it. The production, directing and acting are strictly amateurish. It was produced by Global TV in Canada and it reflects the poor economy and tight budgets likely shadowing the production. Even the "middle-ages" boating flashbacks look like they were filmed in a bathtub. Mira Sorvino's character is unrealistically like a female Indy Jones, jousting from the back of a mounted-policeman's steed, overpowering 3 hoods and performing various other unlikely feats of daring-do. It's devoid of mystery, drama or intrigue and too reminiscent of most dull network movies of the past decade.

Overall I found this movie to be moderately entertaining. I'm not going to regain my Christian upbringing as a result, I'm certainly not going to hail this mini-series as the unopposed champion of religious conspiracy speculations, but I will say its definitely worth a watch if your not too up your own arse to just take it for what it is: a middle of the road romantic drama with some action thrown in! This is the first time I have noticed Mira Sorvino before, although she does look quite familiar. She certainly does a decent job in terms of playing her role: a ninja archaeologist with a passion for her work and the ability to take on 3 men at once in open combat and come out on top.

Watch it if you have exhausted your usual avenues of viewing, it may well surprise you!
