In a dystopian world, the church, in control of "civilized" society within the walls they've built, had once trained priests to combat vampires. That role of the priest was revoked when the church felt that the vampire problem was no more in having confined them. When teenaged Lucy Pace is abducted, signs being that abduction carried out by vampires, her uncle, a priest (hereafter referred to solely as Priest), is determined to find her before she becomes infected. In doing so, Priest goes against the church, which refuses to reinstate his authority as a vampire battler in not believing that there is a vampire problem and which states that in going against the church is going against God. Joining Priest in searching for Lucy is Hicks, a sheriff outside the church walls, he who is in love with Lucy, and Priestess, one of Priest's old colleagues with who he has a special bond. If they are able to find who abducted Lucy, they will discover that their adversary has past ties to them. In the process, a potential problem arises in deciding what to do if they find that Lucy has already been infected, Hicks who will not allow her to die under any circumstance, while Priest is willing to kill her in she no longer being who she was, killing her despite his closer tie to her than he divulges.
After centuries of war between men and vampires, the Church assigns warrior-priests to vanquish the vampires. The survivors are kept in reserves and hives and the humans live in chaotic cities ruled by the Church. The priests are outcast by the Church, afraid of the power of their fighting skill. When Shannon and Owen Pace, who live in an outpost, are slaughtered by vampires and their niece Lucy is abducted by the vampires, the local sheriff Hicks seeks out Owen's brother, the Priest, to search for Lucy. The Priest asks permission to Monsignor Orelas but he denies. So the Priest breaks his vows and travels with Hicks to track down the vampires and rescue Lucy before they turn her into a vampire. Sooner the warrior Priestess joins the Priest and Hicks in their quest.
Christopher Plummer does not make many appearances in vamp films today. In fact, he never does. He knows well enough to stay away, generally, but this was a big budg piece of plonk which must have offered the whole of the cast a hefty paycheck. There is no serious character development, which forces the viewer to assume either mullet head acceptant crap, or slack jawed viewing crap. The first 50% of the film asks that you ride the trail of the second half which should be equally good. It's just not. Yes, lots of good actors exercise their skill here, especially Bettany, but the latter half of the film just completely loses any tension and flavor.
The reason this movie only score a 5 is simple, the story don't develop into anything.The action is good enough to hold you in your seat, but it comes with in inches of making you look at you watch,and that is never good.As for the actors well.....they are doing their job but sadly have nothing to work with.Another thing that makes it a little harder to enjoy is that when ever you set your movie in a new universe so to speak you need to let the watcher in so we can feel invested in the world , here they skimped on that and still not found time to put in more action scenes.One of very few movies these days that would have been much better with more action:). You most likely will leave this movie with the feeling ...this could have been good instead of just a forgettable few hours killing time.
Bettany's performance consists entirely of a purposeful frown paired with a menacing glare: He goes about his godly business with solemn, no-frills intensity. The film follows suit.
When the family of Owen Pace (<a href="/name/nm0610459/">Stephen Moyer</a>), brother of Priest (<a href="/name/nm0079273/">Paul Bettany</a>), is attacked by vampires, his wife Shannon (<a href="/name/nm0000749/">Mädchen Amick</a>) killed, and their daughter Lucy (<a href="/name/nm2934314/">Lily Collins</a>) abducted; Priest disobeys Monseignor Orelas (<a href="/name/nm0001626/">Christopher Plummer</a>) and goes against church law to find Lucy before she is turned into a vampire. Aided by Lucy's boyfriend Sheriff Hicks (<a href="/name/nm1544217/">Cam Gigandet</a>) and the Priestess (<a href="/name/nm0702572/">Maggie Q</a>), the three follow Lucy's trail and come mano-a-mano against Black Hat (<a href="/name/nm0881631/">Karl Urban</a>), an ex-priest who was captured by vampires and turned into a "human vampire" by the vampire queen herself. Priest is based on a Korean manhwa (graphic novel series), also titled Priest, by Hyung Min-Woo. An interview with Hyung in Priest: Volume 3 states that the comic was inspired by the video game <a href="/title/tt0284915/">Blood (1997)</a> (1997). The manhwa was adapted for the screen by Cory Goodman. Priest is set in a post-apocalyptic alternate world in which vampires and humans have been warring for centuries. Facing extinction, mankind withdrew behind walled cities under the protection of the church. As its ultimate weapon, the church trained "priests" with extraordinary powers in the art of vampire combat. The majority of the vampires were killed, the remaining vampires placed in reservations, and the warrior priests assimilated back into society where they disappeared into obscurity. The train carrying Lucy and the vampire army continues to speed toward Jericho. While Priestess rushes ahead on her motorbike in an attempt to set a bomb and blow up the train, Priest and Hicks search the train for Lucy, battling vampires along the way. Hicks stops them by shooting holes in the ceiling, allowing the sunlight to pour in on them. "You would have made a good Priest," Priest compliments him. Hicks find Lucy, but Black Hat manages to knock him off the train. He then nails Priest to the wall, set the cabin on fire, and escapes with Lucy to the top of the train. Priest manages to break free and goes after them. As they run along the top of the train, they notice Priestess heading straight for them on her motorbike, which she has outfitted with the explosives. As the motorbike and train begin to explode, she jumps off the bike. At the same time, Lucy and Priest leap off the train, and it blows to bits, killing Black Hat and his entire vampire army. Priest returns to Cathedral City where Orelas is holding a church service. He tosses a severed vampire head at Orelas' feet, angering him into denying that there are any more vampires left. "The war is over," Orelas shouts. As Priest walks out the door, he replies, "No, it's just beginning." In the final scene, he heads out into the wasteland on his motorbike. He stops to talk with Priestess, who informs him that the other Priests will rendez-vous with him at Seven Cities. Designed for a broader rating (no nudity, one F-bomb), the action scenes in Priest were pretty close to qualifying for an R rating. To assure the PG-13 rating, some minor modifications of the images and the audio needed to be made, just like the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) demanded. In a couple of scenes, the CG blood has been reduced and colored differently. Furthermore, some obvious noises during the process of stabbing or some bones that get broken have been removed from the audio track. The fact that brutal stabbing itself is fine with the MPAA, as long as is doesn't sound that gruesome, made the director wonder. a5c7b9f00b
