Film yang bagus!

I was hoping for another Se7en like movie, my favorite genre, but man was I wrong... What has come over these three actors to make this crap? Cole Hauser, Morgan Freeman and Peter Stormare? Are they helping out the director or something? Did they enter this out of pity? 7 minutes in and I was thinking "oh boy, this is going to be bad"... It's the vibe it sends from the beginning. The first actors were so bad, but so bad (bedroom scene) I got irritated from the start. Awful color grading, dull lighting, terrible pace and really bad acting from all of the cast. This director was able to turn good actors into something cringe to watch. I hate being mean, but this doesn't deserve any better. I don't know if I'll be watching the whole movie, unless I'm multi-tasking. Like I'm doing now.

The movie does not even get started till about halfway through and the second half of the movie is used to set up for a part two in the future. The actors/acting is really not very good and the dialogue leaves a lot to be desired . This was really boring don't waste your time. Very disappointed in Morgan Freeman. I expect better from him. Suggestion for Morgan Freeman for the future. Don't let them use your name just to attract viewers. Another suggestion for this app stop making 600 characters a necessity. Some people have a point of view about a movie without necessarily having a lot to say.

Don't watch this.. the bad acting shows from the start. I clicked to watch it because of freeman, i was surprised, why would he be in this kind of a movie! He was the only one who knew how to act the rest are just doing some kind of a play practice, nothing makes sense, nothing is related, i spent most of the time going back to check if i missed something because i didn't understand anything i felt lost most of the time and wondered when is it gonna be better, i waited and waited but it didn't. I was definitely expecting more from a movie with freeman in it. Don't waste your time, watch another movie.

This is woefully bad. So bad it's more of a comedy. It makes no sense. There's ham in my fridge with better acting skills then the lead detective in this. He looks unwell, like he's been on a 2 year booze bender and his liver is packing up. Although I guess he does play an alcoholic in the film so at least he nailed the aesthetic. Morgan Freeman should be tucked up under a blanket at home these days. He seems slow and doddery which is a shame. He must be broke af to accept this script or maybe getting a touch of the Alzheimer's. Watch it if you need the laugh, but don't think it'll be in anyway thrilling or scary or interesting.

Cole Hauser has a pattern as an actor, he chose movies with unique characteristics. Most of them currently B-Movies and low budget, but a lot of hidden gems. The Ritual Killer is one one of them. The Ritual Killer is a slow burner with slow pace and fast action then falls into slow pace again until it reached the end with a surprise, a classical suspense thriller. The story felt like an novel adaptation. Cole Hauser was a detective with traumatic past if losing his daughter due to negligence. Morgan Freeman was a bit out of place in his character, a professor of Adrican studies who half way to the movie helped Hausee's character. His character was enigmatic, however the enigma wasn't shining bright, rather dim lit. The villain was never the center piece, but he was convincingly scary. The limited budget was very apparent, no exploration to the world of the villains shaman-ship. No extravagant killing scenes. No lengthened action scenes. Yet, the story has potential. In my humble opinion, it should be a mini series about 3-4 episodes, exploring the villain's venture in Italy, then how he entered US. The killing violence was minimized, only the results are partly shown, but still in R rated category. The directorial works was too limited by the budget, so there are too many scenes and plots that can be explored further to increase the suspense. Overall, The Ritual Killer is a good and enjoyable movie, unfortunately their budget is too low.

If you're a fan of Yellowstone, this movie is NOT for you. You may see it and think, hell yeah, RIP is staring in a movie. Welp, you don't get RIP, you're getting a terrible version of Cole Hauser, or a generic dull long lost cousin of RIP. His acting in this movie would have shot down his role on Yellowstone had they seen this prior. As for Morgan Freeman, bless his heart. Just live in retirement. You and Ashley Judd dragged these type of movies through the mud years ago. Time to let it go. As for the rest of the cast, I'm sure you all had fun, but we the viewers, wish you well on your future endeavors. Whether that be selling insurance or putting ketchup in our bags. Sincerely, A movie goer. PS: Someone owes me my $2.25 Redbox rental fee.

Please don't fall into the same trap my parents and i did by clicking on this movie. Yes, Morgan freeman is in it (and the poster) yet he is not the MAIN character and it is clear he was only hired in an attempt to make the rest of the acting seem less rubbish. Spoiler alert: it didn't work! You would think that if they were going to include South African culture so prominently in the movie they would at least learn the proper pronunciations- yet they didn't. The pronunciation of 'Lesotho' had my south african parents giggling next to me- and no one wants that when it's supposed to be a thriller. The acting is more than questionable, from the first chase scene i knew in the back of my mind what we were in for. The acting was shocking and totally unrealistic. Not that movies are nowadays but this was a different level. The first 20-30 minutes was slow and due to the complexity of the plot i figured it was needed and that it would soon pick up- yet it didn't. The ending was hugely unsatisfactory and I cannot say that i would ever watch this again in my right mind. The only reason for the three stars is that the plot had a lot of potential, if you were to describe it to someone they would definitely be interested and would want to watch the movie. They did Morgan Freeman dirtyyy P. S the language on the wall isn't zulu, swahili... they are two completely different languages!!!

Morgan Freeman has made millions of dollars over the course of his acting career. When you have this much money and clout in Hollywood you can pick and choose projects dear to your heart. Is the man bankrupt now or does he have a horrible agent or maybe he owes a "favor" to the Italian mafia? Why would he involve himself in this shamefully bad movie? 3 storylines are introduced at the same time. An African witch doctor is on the loose in some Italian city while being chased by Inspector Lavazza. In America, an African studies college professor Mackles (Morgan Freeman) challenges a student to find an absurd social theory so they can discuss in the next class. An unstable detective Boyd (Cole Hauser) executes a pedophile in some hotel room. All 3 will be connected to the African witch doctor Randoku who is super human that sells his ritual powers to the rich and powerful. This witch doctor is commissioned by some rich dude to gain power so let the mutilations begin! The plot is not at all intriguing as many variations of it has been done for decades. The only difference is an A-list Hollywood star willing to work in this B movie. Cole Hauser is not a leading man he can barely read lines and work with any emotion without being awkward to watch. There was one scene towards the end when he hugs a woman doctor multiple times for no reason and then gives her a deep sniff that reminded me of a certain US president. The list of rhetorical questions is long and this is a reminder that if you choose to watch this don't ask any. I really don't know why Morgan Freeman chose to work in this role. If he is hard up for money then start a GFM page and save people the hours lost watching this soul crushing nonsense.

Its sad how terrible this movie is between the actors who are amateurish at best (slight exception for Freeman) none of it made sense. The lead detective is not Freeman but is (yes figure that one out, the directer clearly took this on as a joke. If you are lucky enough to have come here first unlike me. Let it go, loyalty to Morgan freeman is not worth it for this movie. Cole Hauser who is meant to be the lead detective in this movie is plagued by flashbacks of his daughters death apparently by his own negligence & also the suicide of his wife as a result of daughters death, does not know how to act let alone be a detective in this movie. .
