Irish landscape as the backdrop makes for pretty cinematography. Some decent gory sword fighting. But the story is basically about a group of monks literally transporting a rock stored in a golden chest because the faithful believe it contains divine powers. So the Pope in Rome is interested in looking at it. They are transporting this chest on a horse carriage as though it was the Ark of the Covenant. Halfway through their journey, the monks receive protection from French knights. The rest is predictable. If the monks are under the protection of French Knights, then obviously there are others interested in the rock. Add some betrayal along the way and more sword fighting and that's basically the film. Over a rock smh. Unfortunately, the sword fighting scenes are few, so the film is a snore-fest. Basically, the film is about the blind loyalty these monks have to the church and their faith despite a country full of pagans doubters. meh. definitely not in the same realm of storytelling as the Game of Thrones.
