I live in Poland so I do not get to the American picture show very often. I do have Youtube so I tend to keep current with what's playing. But it isn't like I have advertising to remind me.
Within the last 9 years, closer to 2004 than to 2013, there was one movie that caught my eye staring a popular celebrity as the lead character. A young guy like Christian Slater or someone like that. Not a star Harrison Ford or Tom Cruise. More like someone whose name I recall when I hear it, like Timothy Hutton.
The movie begins with this character being admitted into a secret society. Cowled figures, candles at night, spooky music, the whole bit. It may be framed around a school fraternity or it may be the illuminati take over the world conspiracy but I remember the character gets involved innocently enough and learns that he is in way over his head. And he has to get out. I do not know if the character was awoken by the face of a demon or by Dan Brown, but I am thinking there was an element of magick involved in the society. And from there you have the standard action story of heavy breathing and jump cuts. Light on the character development I grant you.
But I find myself recalling this film and wanting to watch it (at least the trailer on Youtube) but unable to recall its name.
And to make things worse, it is the kind of formulaic entertainment that came out at that time. Yet this one persists in my head the way the question "Is it safe?" never is too far from my conscious thought.
Can anyone help me, here? My interest in the film is in how this secret society operated and was portrayed so I am very fuzzy in story details. The trailer was quite a good sell though. I will know the film by its trailer.
Can anyone post a Youtube trailer to such a film, please?
