A Brilliant Conflict
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
This movie is like homemade, well it is homemade for 1million, film really have no idea, no real plot, no logic, nothing, zero, black matter
Ridiculous story of a guy who sins like crazy, including swearing, smoking, drinking,doing drugs and committing murders, but we are to believe he has his prayers answered by God for a divine healing.
...but, it's original content. It's not "Machine Gun Preacher" or the TV Show "Preacher". It's not even a hybrid. I don't think it's even close to "Badlands" as others have stated. I think the movie is a drug fueld want-a-be preacher gets some powers from above. The GF thinks he's a nut case while she begs him for cash to buy some new shoes. The preacher is f'ed up from being beat up by his sob dad. The preacher wants to do good, but can never catch a break. The drugs consume him.
Started out well with a well worn but underused idea but it became confused and didnt really know what it wanted to be.Acting was patchy and it had a really promising idea but it was all just too muddled as though it was being written by 3 different people who hadnt read the previous persons script.The end felt contrived and done a 100 times before and it was a bit of a disappointment to be honest. Worth a rainy Sunday afternoon if you have seen all the Columbo repeats and there isnt anything else on but it isnt what it wants to be!
