The Papal Council
An assassination attempt on the highest dignitary of the Catholic Church? According to providence, this is exactly what is supposed to happen on a certain day in September. When parts of the prophecy actually come true, the Vatican is seriously worried. The highest security measures are therefore in place for the Holy Father's upcoming visit to Cologne. Vatican security officers Andrea Conti and Paolo Naldini, as well as BKA officers Sara Stertz and Frank Dabrock, join forces to protect the Pope. At around the same time, former Foreign Legionnaire and precision marksman Rami Hamdan receives a mysterious assignment. For the horrendous sum of 25 million dollars, he is to take out a high-ranking figure. His destination is the cathedral city of Cologne.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The Papal Council is an acquired taste at 3.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.
Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.
A 2008 film from an era before CGI overload, with real performances that still hit hard. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
