Stigmata
(MGM)
Rupert Wainwright's film pits simple Pittsburgh
hairstylist Patricia Arquette, who wakes up in the ER with spike wounds through
her wrist, against Gabriel Byrne playing the voice of reason as a Vatican
specialist in debunking miracles. Unfortunately, he doesn't uncover the
fraudulence behind this picture. Stigmata is too dimwitted and confused
to be blasphemous -- the only god it worships is bad taste.
