THEY SAY
Priest, a post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller, is set in an
alternate world - one ravaged by centuries of war between man and
vampires.
The story revolves around a legendary Warrior Priest (Paul Bettany)
from the last Vampire War who now lives in obscurity among the other
downtrodden human inhabitants in walled-in dystopian cities ruled by the
Church.
When his niece (Lily Collins) is abducted by a murderous pack of
vampires, Priest breaks his sacred vows to venture out on a quest to find
her before they turn her into one of them.
He is joined on his crusade by his niece's boyfriend (Cam Gigandet), a
trigger-fingered young wasteland sheriff, and a former Warrior Priestess
(Maggie Q) who possesses otherworldly fighting skills.
WE SAY
One can only hope that it is better than actor Paul Bettany’s previous
genre excursion, namely Legion.
