Mediocrity made film.
Apr 10, 2006
enigmatikmike - imdb.com
Put simply, this is the most mediocre film I've had the opportunity to watch on DVD. The acting is mediocre, the special effects mediocre, the setting mediocre. For a change the storyline is not mediocre: it's worse than that.I'm quite... Full review
A Dark Sophisticated Thriller
Dec 19, 2004
Thormod_Morrisson - imdb.com
Pretty impressed with this thriller. Mark Dacascos has a good on screen presence as the CIA killer-turned-priest-turned-killer-again. The story holds interest and the director steers clear of the usual mad machine gun frenzy Hollywood imagines its action viewers want to... Full review
I managed to catch "Sanctuary" on a night with nothing else to do but flip through the cable channels. I stumbled upon this film simply because i recognized Mark Dacascos from the "Crow: Stairway to Heaven" t.v. series. Needless to... Full review

SANCTUARY was Dacascos' first movie after the excellent DRIVE, I think, and it shows all the hallmarks of direct-to-video Hollywood junk on the surface. I really wasn't expecting much from it at all, but found myself pleasantly surprised. Mark plays... Full review
A Very Dark Spy Thriller

JohnnyPHreak - imdb.com
This one should have gone to the big screen. It's the different kind of action thriller that everyone has been waiting for. It's got lots of action, drama, and thrilling moments. And in this one everything is not perfect. There... Full review
An Involving Thriller That Rewards Those With Patience.

This is a very well made thriller. It tells the story in flashbacks. Sometimes a little hard to follow, but very interesting. The action scenes are good. Mark gives a good performance. The ending leaves the possibilty of a sequel,... Full review
Typical yet enjoyable action yarn
Jan 05, 2000
Megamac - imdb.com
"Sanctuary" is a typical direct to video action flick, but it is enjoyable. The script should have been polished up a bit; it kind of reminded me of "Mission Impossible," "La Femme Nikita," and other espionage thirllers. For a direct... Full review
Entertaining cable action with an actual plot
Nov 18, 1999
RemoR380 - imdb.com
I turned to this movie late at night mainly to see Mark Dacascos who is nice to look at, and not a bad actor either! I tend to fall asleep if a movie doesn't keep me interested. Well, I felt... Full review
From hood to priesthood !
Mar 10, 1999
Phroggy - imdb.com
An assassin turned priest has to get his bearings - and his guns - when killers are after him… an honest thriller, well filmed, but which never goes beyond its primary goal as video-club fodder, though it was obviously made... Full review

THE STORY: This was a toss up.I almost didn't rent it.As a matter of fact I almost rented Red Dawn instead, which is ironic. ... Full Article

Chop-socky star Mark Dacascos plays Luke Kovac, now a priest but formerly an assassin. Plausible, huh? Well, some killers are after him, so rather than turning the other cheek and having it blown off, he has to resort to getting... ... Full Article
