Le dernier templier

I cant believe it .What should i say ; Bodrum is shown like an arabic town.Bodrum has huge forests cover it like a green carpet.But they shown big deserts in movie ?? Bodrum has a mountainous area with perfect beaches.They show great flat lands with dust?? Also they show like poor arabic town(you can probably see in Africa). You can only compare bodrum with ibiza or other holiday towns ( including bars ,night clubs,restaurants,hotels,blue flagged beaches,etc). İts impossible to compare Bodrum in the movie and the bodrum in the real world. Are the producers liers,or fools or do they have political and economical interests about Bodrum or Turkey?? This movie has huge geographical ,archeological ,and cultural mistakes. Finally Bodrum is a touristic holiday paradise.Enjoy....

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.

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!

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.

Treasure of the Knights Templar, codes, Catholic Church. Combine, switch out Nick Cage/Tom Hanks for Mira Sorvino, make her a single mother and blend until utterly bland. They make an Indiana Jones crack early on, probably to distract you from the obvious ripoffs of National Treasure.

A shame, because I like Mira Sorvino (she does looks great in this movie and half the shots are of her legs or derrière, also to distract you), Scott Foley and Victor Garber. If the writers had half the ability of one of these three actors it would have been much better, or never even made. This one belongs on the Lifetime Movie Channel, not NBC.

Three stars out of ten
