So you got these Christian monks who live peacefully in a small Algerian town, which is mostly Muslim. They pray all the fucking time. Like it's their job. Because... well... it is their job. This is what monks do. They eat, sleep and breathe their faith in God.
But it makes for a horrible movie.
I do not have the patience of a monk. I need more than just their mundane repetitive rituals to be worthy of my time. Eventually there is some "action" involving Islamic fundamentalists. But that small amount of action at the end of the movie should have been the movie! Of Gods and Men is based on a true story, which isn't even enough to save this film. The epilogue before the credits should have been the story. Instead you just get words on a screen, and a longing for a do-over in your movie selection. Don't waste your time unless you're trying to pad your List stats (like I was).
