A priest disobeys an edict from the church and goes out to hunt down the vampires who kidnapped his niece.
Priest is actually a pretty solid post-apocalyptic science fiction thriller, despite the lack of love from critics across the country. Paul Bettany and Karl Urban are the big players in this one, and both do a respectable job in their roles--Bettany as a man who has seen more and sacrificed more than most, and Urban as a confident, almost snarky villain. You might recognize a face or two among the rest of the cast (like Stephen Moyer of True Blood fame), but generally there are going to be a lot of faces you won't recognize.
Which isn't to say that this film is all blah. On the contrary, the soundtrack is quite good and the storyline is something between a comic book action plot and more conventional science-fiction fair. Despite the lack of anything thoroughly amazing, Priest offers an entertaining 90 minutes of good, old-fashioned popcorn cinema.
