The acting in this movie is not too bad, the directing is probably OK, but the whole thing comes off badly as the post production work was terrible. The movie is disjointed and the transitions between scenes is absent.
Helena Bonham Carter's acting is very good in this movie. I didn't catch any mistakes on here part and seeing this movie as a good way to gauge some of her early work.
Micky Rourke could have done better I think. Either they gave him bad lines (or no lines in many cases) or he just didn't pull them off well. The part where he has sex with the snow is a little bizarre, but I think his way of converting people by just looking at them or giving them a piece of rotting food is even more so. He builds a church and the movie is half way through before he even prays in it, and he is not even leading the prayer. I was under the impression the real St Francis was a little more verbal.
I don't give this movie a high rating.
