Don't get tired of wathching this one!

Customer Rating:
This movie is so great on so many levels. The acting of Robert Duvall is incredible. I recently started going to a Pentecostal church and seeing the movie now affected me on a much deeper level than before when I wasn't involved in the church at all. This movie really shows our humanity/sinful nature but it also shows us a celebration of God's AMAZING GRACE.
This movie is fantastic! Duvall would have got my vote for the Oscar

Good product, Great service

Customer Rating:
This hard-to-find DVD is Duvall's finest work - and a compelling portrait of a realistically flawed religious man coming to grips with his deeds. Buying it was a pleasure. The vendor was rapid, communicated all details by email, priced well, easy to deal with. I'd buy from them any time.

The Collector Edition Doesn't Work

Customer Rating:
I liked the Apostle so much, I bought the Collector's Edition DVD -- the expanded version that has footage of Duvall talking about the film. I could only get certain sections of the DVD to work. In another review, someone said the same thing. This edition is technically flawed.

Duvall is magnificent in this movie

Customer Rating:
I don't go to many movies, but I sure did like The Apostle. I liked it enough to buy the VCR and then the DVD when it came out. Then I bought a second DVD and put it in my safety deposit box. I probably have viewed this entire movie at least 15 times over the past few years. I have a good part of the script memorized. That Duvall is a truly great actor is a given. What isn't mentioned much in the reviews is the true-to-life setting in rural Louisiana and the moving, upspirited black choirs who I'm sure were local people. They were great! Also rarely mentioned in the reviews is the brief appearance of legendary country singer Billy Jo Shaver, who is Sonny's (Duvall) best friend in the film. I was impressed with Shaver's performance, and after I saw him, I started following his performance schedule as he trucked around the southwest. Presently at age 70, he's still on the road performing at roadside honkeytonks in Texas and Oklahoma. Billy Jo is the real deal, and he made The Apostle even more memorable. I'm glad Duvall gave Billy Jo a shot in this first-rate film.

Too Boring For Words

Customer Rating:
Worse than losing more than 2 hours of my life on this boring, over-rated piece of drek, I spent the last weekend of my father's life in the theater duped by critics into believing this thing might be entertaining. Duvall is definitely too full of himself and has fallen into the rut of being the same character in every movie he has made since "Lonesome Dove."

I have regretted giving up those hours I could have spent with my dying father watching this horrible movie. Critics, shame on you for duping us!!!
