A good review!
16 February 2009
This film and everything in it was over-the-top. That a beautiful Barbie hops on a horse and chases evil thieves, that her live-in friend has a cast that holds his arm out for the entire movie, that her daughter is smarter than she is, that our main character stays one step ahead of the really bad guy, etc, is all reasons it's over the top.

But, once I settled into the fantasy of the film, I was swept up in it. Our lady was smart, accomplished, self-sacrificing for her child's welfare, and beautiful (something we all wish to attain). The locations were amazing, I felt like I was traveling.

She and her Christian FBI agent, who suffers a little from self-sacrifice as well, start out not getting along, dive into the adventure and end up fighting for each other's lives. They fall in love, and it's all the better because neither of them saw it coming.

The scenery, lighting, and artistry of this film are fantastic, gorgeous. I would love to see that island shore with aqua waters breaking over golden boulders.

The ending was a little abrupt, but I guess left it open for another last templar. A lot of fun!
