The Sin Eater (US: The Order) (2003)

Brian Helgeland may have been the oscar-winning writer of "L.A. Confidential" but in his third outing as a director (dare I say his films have become progressingly worse), he would be more in the running for the Golden Raspberry.  He probably thought it a super idea to reunite three of his "Knight's Tale" stars (if in fact any of them had any star quality); Heath Ledger is an over-rated plank of wood and Shannyn Sossamon and Mark Addy have a great future in straight-to-video features. No point summarising the nonsensical plot -- just remember if you run into the film in a dark alley to escape as fast as you can.
