About
If you liked the tense moral pressure of Juror #2 or the contained suspense of Inside Man, this should work; Not for you if slow, talk-heavy power struggles frustrate you.
Pros: gripping Vatican intrigue; strong performances; rich atmosphere | Cons: slow opening; divisive ending; some melodrama
