It's not boring but...
If it's any kind of entertainment, it's in spite of itself.
It's miscast, has a contrived plot, hackneyed direction, is badly scripted, poorly scored, and cheap-looking when it mattered most.
It comes across like an 80s made-for-video horror film of the kind that has no charm.
It's hard to fathom what Russel Crowe was doing anywhere near this. His quality was not on show anywhere here and the sound mix made him often hard to understand anyway. The funniest moment actually comes at the end when it's clear what the producers had in mind / held out a forlorn hope for.
If you like films on this subject, are not turned off by anything Dan Brown-ish and don't expect much, this film will happily kill 90 minutes or so for you.
