a decent film power along by an astonishing performance by robert duvall . other than him though it frankly a little dull with only the scenery add any comfort . duvall star a a wayward preacher who and after one too many run in with his ex wife and her new lover and find himself on the run and want for murder . he end up in a tiny village in the middle of nowhere and begin to rebuild his life know full well that the police will close in on him eventually . you feel very much for duvall because you can see the power and belief of his character and the self destructive streak that result . it also probably the best religious film ever make due to it generally pro christianity atmosphere but also it unwillingness to shirk from the fact that we be all and at the end of the day and merely human . this balance perspective allows it to not be to depress or to sugar coat . still and it drag a little in place and the lack of any real supporting character put too much emphasis on duvall . he great do not get me wrong and but a little more exploration of those around him wouldn not have go amiss .
