Day of Wrath

Highlander, I mean Chistopher Lambert is back at far off 16th century in Spain during the infamous Spanish Inquisition, however this time the picture dealing essentially with Jewish descendant only among nobility in Spain, so the plot fucuses this neuralgic issue where the upper clergy of church upon leadership of the inquisitor James Faulkner enforces a witch-hunt against those hidden Jews in aristocracy, so the Sherrif Lambert tries figure out all about these sudden deaths.

Unfortunately a lame and confusion screenplay undermines a promising offering, allied a fake sets poorly done, to worsen the leading star made an overacted performance as an alcoholic persona that dared arguing louder along the sacred cult at church, in fact wrong choices certainly demanded by own Lambert, in other hand it has some undoubtedly qualities as the fearsome environment ongoing by the evilness and merciless Spanish Inquisition, let it see easily this UK-Hungarian production.

Thanks for reading.

What can I say about Christopher Lambert?? He Starred in good films like Highlander films (OK not the second one) mean guns, Fortress Mortal Kombat and my guilty pleasure Beowulf. But there has been others like Point Men which was undoubtedly the worst film ever. Just look at the Christopher Lambert list of films in a word RUBBISH. But Day of wrath is different. It has a good Story, best part being all the twists and turns like disappearing bodies and conspiracies. Good acting OK violence is set in 16th century and Brian Blessed is in it!!!!!. Its very entertaining and is worthy of watching. Big Chris Lambert is (hopefully) back on track and I cant wait for MK Devastation.

7 out of ten

I agree with the previous commenter about the script and the fast pace of the editing. It does the movie disservice. What would have made it better would have been to let the characters shine through a little more. I do think that for a low budget film it had an interesting, well thought out story. I was surprised by this, and despite the poorly choreographed fight scenes (why were all fighters, even henchmen, better than Lambert), I was still interested because of the historical engagement of the plot. I also agree with the previous commenter that the Hungarian actors were good. I think it is clearly a B movie, but not a bad one.

I just came across this movie, it sounded interesting so i gave it a go, and i was pleasantly surprised. but then i am a big Christopher Lambert, and of course Brian Blessed, but the plot is clever the acting is great and its got lots of medieval action. The story rolled along slowish, well its only slowish after you compare it to the end of the film and as thats usually a good sign i have to say, go see this if you get the chance, i suspect even the ladies will find it enthralling, although women aren't portrayed quite as well as they would like this is the middle ages so its pretty accurate and quite frankly it rocked :)

Before I watched this movie I assumed it was going to be a bad "B" type movie that would be heavy on the cheese and light on substance. Imagine my surprise when halfway through the movie I was riveted to the plot line and actually enjoying the suspense. I can't say much about the movie without giving away to much so I'll say somethings not concerning the plot. Christopher Lambert portrays a 16th Century sheriff living in a town deep in the heart of Spain. His acting really shines here but I was amazed at the supporting cast's talents as well. Everyone seemed to really play off each other and it flowed together pretty smoothly. The ending leaves you satisfied and is thought provoking as well. There is some topless nudity but it is tastefully done. Parents should be warned though there is some blood and violent imagines in this film although it is used to advance the storyline. This story is worthy of theatrical release although I think it went straight to video. So rent/buy it on DVD and put the kids to bed and enjoy an amazing story similar to a "Rob Roy" or "The Name of the Rose" style of movie.
