What did I hope actually ? I'm not sure. Maybe just a funny priest action supernatural flick... Well so is that movie, but I didn't like it a lot. Gabriel Byrne (son of Al Pacino and Mel Gibson ? He looks like both of them anyways) is okay, and Patricia Arquette (Human Nature) is great. But the plot is not very good (Vatican is hiding secrets that would maybe make Lutherans right ? Not kidding ?), and worst, the movie making is quite bad, with a lot of stupid images (slow motion fading...) and a lot of bad habits from the worst music videos promos. The result is not disturbing, not enjoyable, not funny, not not-funny, not scary,... It's quite nothing. Worth watching if you live on a desert island with a DVD player and only the choice between watching "stigmata" and reading the boooring and lame "Da Vinci code".
