Of Gods and Men

Of Gods and Men (2010) starring Lambert Wilson. After much debate about whether to stay or flee, and after much pressure from various quarters, some ordering them to leave, others begging them to stay, seven French monks in the mountains of Algeria decide to stay in their monastery during a war. Eventually, they are taken hostage by Islamic fundamentalists. This movie builds very slowly to its climax, and the climax comes in the form of a few screens worth of words. Not very satisfying, in my opinion. It's in French, with English subtitles. Grade: B-
