The Apostle description Written, directed, and personally financed by Robert Duvall, The Apostle was the culmination of a 14-year effort on the part of its creator, who also stars as the dynamic, God-fearing Texas preacher Euliss "Sonny" Dewey. Vibrantly authentic with its use of real gospel preachers and extras carefully selected from parishes of the deep South, the film treats its complicated characters with the kind of compassion and moral complexity mainstream Hollywood wouldn't dare muster. This is especially true in the case of Sonny, who responds to his wife's infidelity with a crime of passion that sends him on a new and uncharted quest for redemption. Under the assumed identity of "The Apostle E.F.," he settles in a tiny Louisiana town to revive an old church, where he undergoes a transformation of spirit and purpose that enlivens his community. But will the law catch up to him? Does he deserve to be punished? Fueled by Duvall's powerhouse performance, The Apostle refuses to praise or condemn its fascinating central character, leaving the proper degree of forgiveness up to the viewer. Further graced with superb performances by Farrah Fawcett, Miranda Richardson, and Billy Bob Thornton, the film is clearly Duvall's labor of love. The Collector's Edition DVD features a full-length commentary by Duvall and The Journey of the Apostle, a documentary featurette about the making of the film. --Jeff Shannon |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | An amazing movie |
| First of all i am a (pentacostal)Christian, and i have never heard about this movie. And i have to say now after watching this movie to my regret.
I bought this movie NEW in a store for about 1 dollar. Yes 1$. There was someone over there in the store wich told me it's a great movie. Sure i thought well see. Well after me and my family and some of our friends saw this movie we all had the same conclusion. THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME GREAT TERIFFIC. Especially Christians should see this movie. I don't know how non believers will react to this movie. I want so say a brief thing about the livestyle of this preacher, there are parts of it wich are really bad. But you have to look at a person like God does. Only Jesus is perfect and every Christian has his flaws. If a mature Christian looks at this movie and knows his bible. I think he will like this movie. Remember lukewarmness is also a sin. |
