Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

In Priest, Iain Glen's Jack Taylor comes to the help of the Father Malachy who looked after his dying mother. He has received threats and another priest has been found murdered with his head decapitated.Jack enters a world of child abuse and that consequences of the abuse. The murdered priest was vile, a child abuser and a rapist. Other people are getting killed and there is a land developer and his clingy sister who seems to be dictating things and getting in Jack's way.No doubt that some of the writing is rather clunky, it cannot go unnoticed that despite being an alpha male, the hard drinking, hard living but skint Jack seems to be a magnet in attracting female attention.Still the mystery remains fairly strong and the story of child abuse in the priesthood in Ireland is topical.
