Customer Reviews

worst movie i have ever seen

this movie is SO bad. it is almost laughable at points (like when someone dies in the most awkward way ever from hitting their head after falling down three stairs.) would not pay 50 cents for it. on the cover it looks like the guy from frasier... yeah terrible.

Nor Bad...

Gory suspense, with the plot hatched against the background of the Spanish Inquisition.

We have Brian Blessed in the role of the governor Lord Francisco de Ruiz. A superb actor! I remember him as Augustus Ceasar in the immortal BBC series "I, Claudius".

James Faulkner is not less compelling in the role of friar Anselmo.

What do both have in common? Well, they are both British dramatic actors, which explains their superb performance, something that is missing in our hero Ruy de Mendoza, portrayed by Christopher Lambert, who sounds superficial at times.

All in all, a violent and compelling drama. Not bad at all.

Bestselling Author & movie buff

This film is amazing! To my knowledge, is the only one of it's kind addressing the conversion of Spanish Jews to Christianity during the 1400 and 1500's. History shows that some stayed in Spain and took on new identities as in this thriller of a film. Here in New Mexico, Arizona, and southern Colorado live thousands of descendants who were saved from the Inquision by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella because they loaned money to the Spanish crown for Columbus to come to the new world as well as for Spanish crusades. The Two largest land grants in the Southwestern United States were colonized by the Jews who left Spain and what an awesome script to show what happened with others who had secrets within secrets in order to continue to live in Spain over the next generations. I would seriously think about giving the Hungarian cast and crew five stars.
As for someone's comment about Christopher Lambert...You've got to be kidding!!! The man has reinvented himself from a songwriter in love with an older woman in LOVE SONG ( in his earlier career) to a Cajun Cop in Chicago who has turned away from his Catholic faith and yet uses the parts of the New Testament he knows to catch a really sick serial killer in RESURRECTION. He played an international master chess player forced to help the police and a psychologist track a killer in the thriller KNIGHT MOVES...it is kind of like saying that every actor who plays in theatre and film in period pieces is stuck...Don't miss this sleeper just because it didn't have big studio distribution...our past shows us so much about or present and how we can influence a better future...If you get the DVD, the extras are great. None of this film is dry, slow or boring.

Medieval Mystery

This medieval mystery has many twists, so pay close attention to the details. It's an excellent spell-binder that trots along at a fast pace with plenty of suspense. 'Who done it and why' is the big question when royals suddenly drop dead during the night due to some nasty wounds and various letters of the alphabet carved into their flesh. Before the befuddled sheriff can get a witness, the bodies disappear! Is the sheriff drinking too much and imagining all the blood and guts, or is there a conspiracy involving a secret list of names? Excellent movie!

"One Nation, One Faith"

A very pleasant surprise, Day of Wrath brings to the screen the story of a sheriff in a small Spanish town as he tries to get to the bottom of an ongoing series of brutal and highly mysterious murders.
The setting is Spain in 1542 and a small town sheriff, recently back from Antwerp in the Spanish Netherlands, finds himself at a loss when confronted with several murders that no one seems to acknowledge, not even the victims' spouses! Little does he know that he is in the middle of an intriguing civil war...
Christopher Lambert, and the rest of the cast carry out their performances very well.
Blanca Marsillach was delightful as Carmen de Jaramillo; let's see more of her...
Very well written and very well presented, the movie is one that can be watched over and over again.
The setting, the plot, the costumes, and the music are all wonderful, though the battle sequences could have been better.
In short, Day of Wrath is a movie definitely worth watching, as it will surely provide for an evening's entertainment!
