Russell Crowe as Anthony in The Exorcism and Father Amorthe in The Pope's Exorcist Exclusive header
Russell Crowe is one of the most distinguished actors of his generation. Recently, Crowe's career has deviated towards the horror genre — with two similar roles in The Pope's Exorcist and The Exorcism. Crowe was nominated for Best Actor three years running during the 2000s for his lead role in Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind, and The Insider. While Crowe has experienced notable highs in his career, he has encountered significant setbacks, too.

As a horror movie, The Exorcism, inspired by William Friedkin's similarly-named 1973 film, The Exorcist. is more unsettling as it centers around a number of supernatural occurrences that take place on the set of the film. The fictional movie in Crowe's film bears a striking resemblance to the alleged incidents that transpired on the set of The Exorcist.
That's not to say the prominent figure in The Pope's Exorcist lacks depth — he is just not as thoroughly explored as he had the potential to be. Audiences see Father Gabriele Amorth struggling to reconcile with an incident that took place earlier in his career, yet this element is somewhat overlooked throughout the film. This ultimately has a detrimental impact on the character's depth, as it becomes increasingly difficult to empathize with the remorse that Father Gabriele harbors.
