Priest

My movie reviews have been on a crawl as of late. I haven't had much time to catch the latest movies or just that there isn't much interesting movies lately and there any much past movies that I need to catch.

Apparently, I wanted to catch Paul because I love the dynamic duo of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost but both cinema in Tampines does not showcase. Hence, I ended catching Priest. Watching the trailer in past cinema visit, the show intrigued me. Seems like Assassin Creed with a Underworld in a futuristic point of view.

A group of heroes known simply as Priest were disbanded after infiltrating a vampire hive including losing of a member. The war heroes were left on their own to survive in the densely populated of the Cathedral City. A sheriff from a slum of the wasteland brought news of an attack on his family, the Priest goes against the church to find his missing niece.

Priest does not contain much originality. It overshadows Assassin Creed with a "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" Chosen One where a selected few are trained to go against the vampires. The vampires breeds are too similar to Resident Evil Seekers or Star Wars Rancor. The whole future seems like a those of the game Fallout, a world in ruins after a great war. The plot is quite straight forward, which nearly made me fell asleep a couple of times.And they are doing justice for temptress, Maggie Q by defacing her.
