The Rite | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Demonic possessions are not a universal Christian belief, and there's just not enough here of interest to appeal to any audience, be they Christian, atheist, agnostic or anywhere in between.

What makes this film old is Anthony Hopkins and his laboured transformation into a tortured being, who needs to be tied up hand and foot, there to snarl and growl.We've seen this Hopkins before, better done in his man-eating Hannibal Lecter role.

... takes forever and a day to get to the point, and when it does, it's not even that interesting.

All a rather predictable outcome that doesn't offer anything we've not seen before, but Anthony Hopkins saves it.

There are some scares, some cool devil moments, and Hopkins delivers a wry performance which suggests that he may realize his job is all theatrics and therapy rather than Holy Mission stuff.
