Of Gods and Men
Oh, French films, what a hit and miss affair. Of Men and Gods chronicles the faith of seven French monks, who staff a small monastery in Algeria.
As militant groups start killing people, the monks ponder whether they should stay and continue the work in the Muslim country. Even when government official become concerned for the security of the monks they are not keen to just give up in the face of violence. The first 15 minutes of the film held my interested but then I felt like in waiting for Godod. In the end all but two of the monks are killed and the film is over. One more time reason could not triumph against faith.
