Viewing Notes
As flawed as PRIEST is, I actually found it a pretty enjoyable “one-timer.”
The story is derivative, but I really liked Karl Urban chewing the scenery as the baddie Black Hat and a lot of the world design of the film.
Yes, there’s a whole lot that could have been better, but PRIEST was miles ahead of LEGION.
