The Apostle! Glory! The best ever!

Customer Rating:
This movie got very little publicity and was actually recommended to me by a minister. I rented it and watched it over and over again. For those of us who grew up in the South and share stories of revivals and tent meetings this brings back a lot of memories. It's a great story of personal redemption tinged with pain, sadness and a little humor. You'll find yourself wanting to get on your feet and do a little "shoutin' and singin'". Robert Duvall is totally believable in this role as the evangelist.

Very good film

Customer Rating:
I love this movie, the love of the Christian Faith how God can save even the worst of sinners to repentance. God bless Robert Duvall. an awesome man of God to be inspired by Jesus to write such a beautiful movie.

Nice Performance, Boring Story

Customer Rating:
I found the plot extremely repetitious and boring. Nothing much happens except a lot of preaching and good intentions. Some nice acting by Duvall. But I couldn't believe in him as a genuine man of God because he showed no deep emotional remorse over his killing the pastor or over the abusive way he treated his wife. He just runs away and tries to start a new life. This showed he was a coward, unready to take responsibility for his base actions. If he had any sense of conscience, he would have given himself up to the law and accepted his punishment for his vicious act. The movie was much too long.

The Apostle VHS

Customer Rating:
Original thought on how evangelists love God most and their neighbor as themselves while flesh will be flesh and where there's flesh there's problems....the classic appearance is Johnny Cash's real wife, June Carter Cash, playing the wife of the apostle, the woman spurned, just
fed up with The Apostle having access to so many other
than her on his evangelistic excursions....every
preacher must have to struggle with what Robert
Duvall heroically depicts as The Apostle....a must
see for anybody who loves God most and their neighbor
as oneself and struggling to keep satisfying
self as third to serve God from the heart God is first, neighbor is second, self third place....in short....an excellent choice to help anyone
think about how a person can love God most yet constantly
struggling with the normal desire God has build into the human heart, fleshly desires.

excellent
