Hi,

Watched this one yesterday and it can best be described as ... meh.

Even though I had very low expectations - I had seen the trailer after all - the film left me still feeling slightly disappointed. My hope had been that James Purefoy, IMHO a very good actor for roles like this one, would make the film more memorable.

The plot could not be more simple, I think: A mercenary who owes his soul to the devil redeems himself by fighting evil.

To be clear, the film is not offensively bad or anything, it just runs its course leaving this viewer utterly uninvolved in what happened. The only two characters I had taken a liking to were disposed off about 20 minutes into the film and the story was predictable and without any twists.

So you can watch this one on the telly on a boring Sunday afternoon or you can ignore it - either way you won't remember for long. (4/10)
