The Dilemma | The Rite | Sanctum - Prague, Czech Republic

So Ronny sees Nick´s wife Geneva (Winona Ryder) sharing a public kiss with tattooed hunk Zip (Channing Tatum). Should he tell his best friend? Nothey need to produce an engine in the next few days/weeks, this might distract him. Instead, he confronts Geneva (this produces another, very similar bit of information that really strains our sympathy towards Ronny), and then Zip, all the while hiding his adventures from girlfriend Beth (Jennifer Connelly), who could very well get him out of this. But no, he keeps the information from her in order to protect her, like a secret agent or something, damaging his own relationship in the progress.

A (mostly) good cast is wasted. Vaughn tries his best, with a manic, motormouthed performance that recalls better, earlier roles, but his character is such a snide, rude, self-centered idiot that we feel nothing but contempt for him. James barely registers as the friend, while Connelly is completely wasted as the girlfriend. Ryder and Tatum come off best; at least their characters have real issues to be concerned about. The director´s father, Rance, and his brother, Clint, turn up in small roles.

Before they arrive, we´re treated to our first death scene: diver Judes (Allison Cratchley), who wasn´t feeling very well, goes out on a dive with Frank, minus a backup tank. Her hose suddenly snaps, and she panics as Frank tries to share his face mask with her, so he wrestles it back and watches her drown in front of him. Tough guy. Still to come: two more ridiculous “mercy drownings,” in which characters are put out of their misery by being forced underwater in some of the most unpleasant deaths imaginable.
