If Luc Besson wanted to make a movie about parkouring monks, then he should've written that instead of doing this nonsensical thriller mystery that forgets everything it was setting up for the sake of Christopher Lee doing his best impression of a Bond villain. With an ingenious plan to start "New Europa," Lee was going to take King Lothair's scripture or chronicle and... I don't know what he would have done with it, nor do I suspect the movie did. What kind of knowledge did it contain? What information would it reveal? This wasn't even on the level of the Dead Sea Scrolls. This is a 9th-century Frankish book, as far as I understand. Keep in mind that there isn't much to digest here in terms of the implications of him getting it. What occult stuff did these Nazi-looking characters all gather for, all high on amphetamines, no doubt? Was it an actual death cult?
What does the Jesus and Apostles larp group have to do with it, and what was the point of ritualistic killings when they were just crazy witnesses that no one was going to believe? More importantly, why are the gigachad monks high on Hitler's stash who can take bullets to the chest unable to swim? Seriously, only Niemans and Reda even tried to survive in that flood.
The script is just condensed dementia. Like someone drunk trying to recite the Da Vinci Code plot.
The atmosphere is enjoyably nauseating and despondent. If the first one was just a little bit like Seven, then this one apes it to a full.
The movie also retreads the formula of the first one, where the detectives start with seemingly unrelated incidents that interject in the middle. None of it made sense in the end, but they sure included Nieman's fear of dogs here too. Again, with no purpose.
What is it with Niemans and the dogs?
