A Monk-a-Hunt We Go
29 November 2003
This movie starts out with a great fighting scene on a bridge which is meant to chose another monk to guard a timeless scroll for 60 years. Germans, yes, the Nazis want the scroll and will stop at nothing to get it. They fail but only after destroying the monastery and all except two monks. We then proceed to the next century, the 2000's with a new search for a monk. This guardian of the scroll has been chased around the world for 60 years because of the scrolls power of youth. A pickpocket is the likely choice? Not a moral choice but then you must follow the prophecy. An entertaining film with action and downplay of two generations. An old monk with wisdom vs a young punkish thief with no wisdom just youth. Is this really the person that the prophecy regards as the next guardian? Enjoy.
