Not one of Dolph Lundgren's best. He plays Lukas Sadorov, an ex- Spetznaz soldier turned priest in a sort of Templar order, who comes to New York when an ancient key is discovered by workers digging a tunnel. Apparently the key unlocks a special cell in the Templar order's monastery in Israel in which is imprisoned a Someone . Also on the trail of the key is The Minion, who is the servant of the Someone. The identity of the Someone, how the key came to New York, and the overall plot itself are ludicrous. Why the Templar order never destroyed the key instead of hiding it for centuries as it was never to be used again is never mentioned.
Dolph Lundgren himself looks uninterested most of the time and even in the action scenes looks half-hearted. Am not sure if he was dubbed sometimes but his voice did seem to change a lot. Françoise Robertson is a most unlikely archaeologist and is quite irritating for most of the time. The Minion is played by several people as it can leap from person to person, only to give itself away by a hilarious kind of growl.
"Some questions are best left unanswered" says one of the characters. And some films are best left unmade.
