Irlanda, 1209, en el borde del mundo. Un grupo de monjes inicia su peregrinaje para llevar una reliquia sagrada al Vaticano a través de una tierra desolada tanto por siglos de guerra tribal como por la creciente amenaza de los invasores normandos. Tras descubrir la verdadera y peligrosa naturaleza de la reliquia, los peregrinos se enfrentan al hecho de que la misma fe que les une puede estar conduciéndoles a la destrucción.

A lot of bang for your buck. An atmospheric movie about a pilgrimage during which a group of monks are taking a reliquary to the Pope in Rome to boost the numbers of knights in the Holy War. One of the monks happens to be Spiderman, accompanied by the Punisher as his Sherpa/bodyguard, but there’s more to him than meets the eye. Along the way, they encounter obstacles, get attacked by the natives and the bloodbath begins. Bernthal decapitates heathens with a wooden shield, people are disembowled alive, criminals have their hands chopped off. The ending is appropriately crushing and pointless. Films like this are like gold dust and deserve admiration. Judas!

I can't help it, but these historical gritty movies don't do much for me. I know there is some attempt at a message here, but for me, it just doesn't feel right. It's gritty, but I find it terribly empty in terms of plot. It wants to appeal to the viewer, but at the same time, its pace can be boring, even though there are fights and action scenes. No, this isn't for me.
