when i saw the film with my lover he say and who know he could preach . when duval perform his final sermon . it be an awe inspiring performance . i be a pastor kid and my father be good and duval show greatness . in the film duval character be deeply flaw but also deeply faithful . what make this film great be a clear view of evil to redemption to punishment to resolution . in 97 there be only two truly moral flms . very different film . boogie night for family value and loyalty and and the apostle about redemption . what and incredible year with two profound film in the same year .
