you can not help but be mesmerize by robert duvall in the title role . he must of see a lot of southern preacher a he grow up and because he write this a well and the role suit him to a tee . the support cast be fine and with rick dial and john beasley get kudos for their work and but the movie be first and foremost about the apostle . if you like robert duvall a an actor and you will like this movie . his attention to detail in his role be well know . he bring quirk and nuance to help flesh out his character and and this role be no different . the apostle be a flawed man who can lift others up and but have trouble lift himself up . and that contradiction be what give this movie it flavor . all in all and a fine movie .
