This horrible movie is based very loosely on the book of the same name by. Richard Sapir. There was none of the terrorist plot in the book, no kidnapping. Added garbage. One of the best parts of the book was how the Antonio Banderas character - actually Jim Folan from Portland Maine - is selected for the investigation at the Vatican and the movie completely skips over it. Dr Golban is not a widow with a child, but a married woman whose con-artist husband skipped out with all her money. How Father Jim Folan goes about his investigation is so much better. The book has a fired inscribed disk not a jar and lamp. Skip the movie and read the book.
