After a while, the movie tires of the witch business and trots out a plot twist that permits the effects department to spend money.

Another forgettable trifle from Cage.
Leah Rozen, TheWrap
Fresh
Director Dominic Sena sets a quick pace; the dull moments are brightened by the unexpectedly likable team of Cage and Perlman.
Rafer Guzman, Newsday
Rotten
Cage is effective as a falling down drunk in Las Vegas or a treasure hunter navigating goofy road trips but not as a disillusioned champion of the Church going one-on-one with a demon. Steven Seagal would have been more believable.

It's Centurion Deux without the second-coming-of-Carpenter pretense, though you still wish the trashiness were more distinctive.
