In New York, during the opening of the exposition of the Treasures of the Vatican for the public, four criminals posing as Templar knights break in the museum riding horses and heist the valuable artifacts. The archaeologist Dr. Tess Chaykin (Mira Sorvino) steals the horse of a policeman and chases and captures one thief with Red Cross of Constantine. The FBI Agent Sean Daley (Scott Foley) teams up with Tess that learns that the criminals' prime intention is a decoder mechanical device that can provide the location of the Templar treasure. They travel to Turkey where Tess expects to find the treasure and discover a conspiracy of the Church to keep classified information in secret to protect the Catholic Church.Yesterday I saw "The Last Templar" on a DVD just released in Brazil and I did not know that this is a mini-series. The DVD has 171 minutes running time; therefore the original series was edited and 69 minutes are missing. The edited film is too long and boring, without the suitable pace of an action movie, but it would be unfair to criticize this aspect since it is not the work of the director but the producer. The romantic corny conclusion is awful. I am a big fan of Mira Sorvino and the shape of this gorgeous actress is amazing and she does not look to be a forty-three year-old woman. The lame screenplay is dreadful, with ridiculous situation such as: (1) Tess cries to the thief in the heist to return the Constantine Cross that does not belong to him; (2) Tess investigates the case with several murders by herself, holding information that might have helped the official investigation, and is released by FBI; (3) The Catholic agent does not drink coffee in the Lent, but he shags a woman that he has just known; (4) The experienced archaeologist Tess drives reckless on the streets to show off to Sean; (5) A city buried by a volcano has light and only dust inside the building; (6) In a perfect storm with a huge wave, the perfect attitude is to jump overboard. There are many other silly and stupid situations that make the film a comedy, and not a suspenseful adventure. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): "O Último Templário" ("The Last Templar")

you are in the mood for a movie that is so terribly bad that you just can't seem to look away. After this movie ends, you'll be sitting in front of your TV with glazed-over eyes wondering what just happened. I can't and won't even begin to go through the list of incredible flaws and mistakes in regards to location, geography, story line, acting, plot, - basically ANYTHING related to this fabulous movie! I was initially thinking that this movie should get a negative rating, but heck - let's give it one awful star for the pure entertainment factor. This would be a GREAT entertainment if you are in a group with half-way intelligent people who are history/religion literate and a couple of drinks. You won't stop laughing - because that is all you can do to avoid the crying. Enjoy!

This movie is horrible in its acting, plot/story, cinematography, and historical references… As far as the acting goes; the emotionless "Christian" assassin who worked for Monsignor De Angelis had more stage presents than the rest of the cast of characters. Oh, except for maybe the boy who attached the GPS(tracking unit) to the truck at the beginning of the film(and that says something as he had no lines to speak).Story wise: Dr. Tess Chaykin(archaeologist) racing a 2 ton truck thru streets crowed with people for absolutely no reason, while talking about faith vs. evidence made no since at all. Next: both Sean Daley(FBI agent) and Dr. Chaykin just happen to dig in the exact right spot that just so happen to drop down onto the roof top of the one and only building that has a tunnel formed by a random lava flow that lead them(Sean Daley, Dr. Chaykin) directly to what the Templars buried(astrolabe, and letter) in a untouched church. All of which was perfectly lit even thought the whole city was completely covered.The very essence of the plot/movie contradicts itself. It implies at almost every instant that "faith" is justifiable because the fictional Jesus character is real(which further implies that the Christian god is real). Then does a complete 180 and suggest the opposite, and by default proving the all of Christianity is false. Though I will concede that this nonsensically journey of delusions and lies is the pinnacle of the Christian belief system; so at least that was accurate.P.S. And just for clarification; Hypatia, the Greek female philosopher and mathematician was brutally killed by mob of christians, and not pagan Saxons like Bill Vance(the other male archaeologist/Templar) implied.The only thing that this movie had right was the coordinates (36N 31' 26.21, 27E 55' 8.3) to an area of the Mediterranean Sea.Katalyzt

Dear Americans! Turkey is bordered by six countries: China, Italy, Canada, Afghanistan, Morocco and Uruguay!We are speaking Chinese and using Cyrillic alphabet!Turkey is encircled by "deserts" on three sides and using camels for the transportation.Per capita income in Turkey below 13 dollars.Turkey has border problems with Japan, and it looks like another war is about to happen.Don't waste your time with this movie.I would watch Titanic again, before I ever considered watching this.
