From the preview, we're supposed to think, The Exorcist meets Hannibal Lecter. Given the pedigree of Anthony Hopkins and all the brilliant characters he's put together in the blast, this was a no brainer. The Rite is indeed a no brainer. As in, without a brain.
Anthony Hopkins did indeed deliver. His performance as usual, was stellar. But unfortunately, that's where the compliments end. The rest of the cast were duds. My guess is, that the director, Mikael Håfström was trying to stay true to the movie's original inspiration, and spinning a story around it, but the end result was neither horrific or exhilarating. Quite honestly, the trailer is much more intense than the actual movie.
