They don't make movies like this anymore.

Almost taking the story of Rasputin as its template %u2013 with a mystic (Robert Powell) entering the lives of a politician and his wife by healing their son %u2013 and adding a bit more political intrigue, it had the potential to be an interesting Australian genre film but has not got enough to it to work. Powell is a highlight, but there is nothing in this that has not been done better in other films.

Very strange indeed.
