I heard bad things about this one.

It's failed in a not really good way. The story of the Jesuit is great and could have given sth fantastic had it been handled by a better writer. But large parts are useless, uninteresting, just "minable" to use a French word. The dialogs are real bad most of the time too: artificial, bland, uninspired and built on clich?s after clich?s.

Alain Claude-Sulzer's The Perfect Waiter (Un gar?on parfait), but that's for another thread.
