The Rite (2011)
5/10
I was bored to tears.

I will watch anything that has the magical Anthony Hopkins in, and he doesn't disappoint in The Rite, he is as charismatic and commanding as always.

The trouble is, that the film is unbelievably tedious, despite a few shocks, and the odd grizzly moment, I genuinely had to fight to stay awake.

It was trying to depict the role of the church in the present day, whilst delving into the subject or exorcism, which has surely been done way too many times.

Nice to see Hopkins using his Welsh accent, watch it for him, but just don't expect to be wowed.

A disappointing 5/10
