I thought your screenshot was from a Mel Brooks movie for some reason. Maybe the monk reminded me of Igor. Kimberly: I agree with you that Connery in this period rules. He was even good in <em>Highlander 2: The Quickening</em>. If you're a fan of the book I could see how that would help. This was totally European in sensibility, with Christian Slater dissing the poor little peasant girl at the very end and riding away to a life of monkdom.

I think it features one Connery's best performances from the 80s too. Smart and creepy (and sometimes even funny) mysteries are hard to come by.
