In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
The acting in this movie is really good.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
But this isn't a series, it's a movie, so it's listed wrong but the description is correct. Not Sorvino's best movie, but I've seen a LOT worse. At least I was entertained. :D
This movie includes stereotype against Muslim like many western oriented movies. The history knowledge of the scenarist is very limited that it is shown in the movie as if Mamelukes and Ottomans empires existed at the same time when Jerusalem conquered by Muslims. The scene in Bodrum-Turkey where they shoot the movie is not Bodrum at all and the plates number of the cars are wrong. In the movie, Turkey is represented as Arabic countries camels sands, cloths etc, it is not so actually. In Bodrum- Turkey, you may not even see native people, but tourists, since it is one of the most attractive touristic place in Turkey. Overall, it is not a good movie.
Please be aware that the scenes stated to be as "bodrum-turkey" is not real Bodrum. Bodrum is one of the well-known touristic places of Turkey with beautiful sea and forests. It is not a village in the middle of middle east or north Africa. On the other hand, the language spoken and stated to be Turkish does nothing to do with Turkish. So as a result, I believe that producers, directors and actors of this film should have made more investigation about BODRUM since it is one of the most beautiful places on earth and Turkish language which is one of the oldest languages spoken on earth.Please search for Bodrum/Turkey on internet and you will see that this film is unfair to Bodrum and Turkish people.
No wisdom of information I thought the places Hollywood instead of Bodrum.Maybe their budget was low and made the casting at some sort of desert,The name Last Templar is good but the rest is emptiness. Like a black hole in film industry.But such a misinformation is unbelievable. I expected better from the Last Templar. Such Professional_Fakes shouldn't do such things.Bodrum is the place of history,entertainment,fun. A key place to visit with magnificent tastes.We expect better performance and production from film makers in the futureBest Regards
