Pros: Robert Duvall, actor Cons: Robert Duvall, director
Had I seen "The Apostle" — a movie written by, directed by, financed by, and starring Robert Duvall — in 1997, when it was released, I would not have seen it in relation to another evangelical Texan convinced that he is on the same side as God...
Pros: Superb acting in a well written and directed film. Cons: Slow pace in spots
Every once in a while, I find a movie that does much more than simply entertain me; it actually speaks to my soul. Films like Gandhi and The Mission, with their multiple themes of peace, redemption, and eternal love, transcend simple...
Pros: The best work Duvall has ever done! And you know that's saying a lot! Cons: That more people haven't seen this.
We've all seen for years what a brilliant actor Robert Duvall is. The Apostle was his first turn at directing and he's just as brilliant on that level. He is also once again masterful in the starring role. Duvall plays a Texas preacher named ...
"Holly Ghost Power! Amen!! Thank you Jesus, can I get an Amen? Amen!!"
OOPS!! Sorry, I just typed out the whole script for you all to see in Robert Duvall’s flick, 'The Apostle'. This long, boring movie is hard to sit through, it...
Pros: Duvall's powerful performance pays off in spades. Cons: None that I can think of.
Some movies do a great job of revealing a part of life that we might not be familiar with. Some do a bang-up job of having a character's action lead the plot. The Apostle does both. Written, directed and produced by Academy Award winning actor ...
Pros: An absolutely astounding film experience for me. Cons: Not a one
I watched The Apostle on HBO last night, or I should say, I experienced The Apostle. I have been wanting to see this movie ever since its release in 1997. I was very aware of the press it was receiving, and saw Robert Duvall on many tv shows promoting...
Pros: Prodigious effort by Duvall... Cons: Why don't they make 'em like this more often?
I didn't do much homework on the background of this flick, but Robert Duvall's production and Oscar-nominated performance indicates that he had plenty of working knowledge in the evangelical Christian community. The jargon, theory and practice displayed...
Pros: Story, acting Cons: A bit uneven at times, flat photography
My father has been a Christian minister for almost 40 years. In my
lifetime, I've never seen him curse, drink, lie or express hatred for any
human being. He's never chased a skirt unless it was worn by my mother.
Although I can't say...
Pros: Realistic portrayal. Cons: Cause to distrust preachers.
Any person who has spent enough time in fundamentalist church circles can attest to the reality behind The Apostle. Robert Duvall obviously knew what he was writing about. The sad truth about this film is just what it portrays: that all too...
Pros: wonderful characterization, and inside view of evangelism Cons: none
Robert Duvall is just wonderfully terrible in this movie! He is the vision I have of almost every fire and brimstone preacher in the South (or anywhere for that matter!). They yell at everyone because they are so dang guilty themselves. They want to...
It doesn't get much better than this. Original, real, triumphant, and dramatic.
I was very surprised at this movie, and even more surprised at Robert Duvalls' convincing portrayal of a preacher. It was one of those movies that you didn't hear...
The Apostle is a quaint, but powerful story about a southern Pentecostal preacher who is out to save the sinners of the world, but is completely unconscious of his own hypocritical indiscretions. It’s an accurate portrayal of both the best and worst...
I saw this movie as soon as it came out on video and loved it! Robert Duvall(Sonny) plays a preacher who finds out his wife is cheating on him with the youth pastor. He wants to keep the marriage together, but she says no. Out of anger, he hits the...
He spent his life trying to be a good man. But beneath the virtue and the conviction that made him a successful preacher, lie true human emotions -- l...More at HotMovieSale.com
Written, directed and produced by the multi-talented Academy Award-winner Robert Duvall, The Apostle offers the most powerful and insightful performan...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
