Summary: Following the murder of a close friend, a British journalist finds himself in possession of an enigmatic historical clue. The more the man learns about the artifact, the more he is drawn into the investigation of a series of related crimes.
Things I Liked: The underlying idea/concept. I respect Vinnie Jones' bold decision to go against type. Some of the costumes and sets depicted in the historical sequences are worth mentioning.
Things I Didn't Like: The foggy, complicated and often confounding sequence of events. It's almost as if the filmmakers failed to choose the strongest moments to tell the story. The filmmakers' decision to include noticeably subpar actors alongside such talents as Derek Jacobi, Vanessa Redgrave and Jason Flemyng further muddles the experience. The dialogue is unnecessarily heavy.
