Review of The Rite (2011) by Dana A — 28 Jun 2011
Having now seen The Rite, why would I (or you) ever watch this film when you can easily just as watch the far superior The Exorcist? I am amazed at how ineffective this Devil tale is when it comes to the scares or the philosophy of the characters.
I do like the brief appearances of both Toby Jones and Rutger Hauer and it's impossible to not like Anthony Hopkins even in these paycheck roles--and his CGIed screaming face is maybe a little eerie.
Not VF. See this movie only for Anthony Hopkins incredible and unbelievable performance, its the only thing I recommend about this film.
