The Reckoning, movie set in medieval times, is very interesting. Of course it is when you have such actors as Willem Dafoe, Gina McKee, Paul Bettany, Brian Cox and Vincent Cassel.
When young monk played by Paul Bettany makes cardinal sin by copulating with a nun he gets expelled from monastery. Travelling through wasted landscapes of war torn country he encounters musical troupe or some kind of bandits. Together now they come to some village ruled by mysterious man.
Strange things are happening there as children of the village are disappearing one by one.
After some investigation troupe come to the conclusion that village ruler Vincent Cassel is killing those boys. After some struggle they manage to overcome him and soon leave village like all other vagabonds.
Vincent Cassel gives strong performance as ruthless village ruler possibly inspired by mythical figure Gilles de Rais, alleged child molester.
