Summary: He was touched by the power and filled with the spirit. A man of faith. A man of the flesh. A man plagued by the darker side of human desire, and rage. Robert Duvall is Sonny, a gifted Southern preacher loved by his community. When Sonny loses control and commits a crime of passion, he is forced to run from the law. Hiding out in the small town of Bayou Boutte, Sonny adopts a new identity and sets out on a new mission ' to find the road to redemption. (Universal)

Duvall's galvanising performance is the centrepiece of unusual drama, which effectively portrays an evangelical preacher seeking redemption. After many film encounters with stereotypically mad or sanctimonious preachers, it is refreshing to see one presented in a mostly positive and affirmative light, even if the extended congregation scenes were a bit much at times for this non-believer. Stellar support work by Richardson and fine work by the remaining cast, negates occasional pacing problems.

This is what happens when the same guy writes, directs,and stars: there's nobody to tell him his pacing is too slow and the story needs to be punched up. It's 20 minutes of material stretched out over 2.5 hours. Having heard Duvall interviewed, I'm not convinced this film's acting was that good either; he wasn't acting very much since he believes a certain % of what Sonny does. That aside, let's ask what message this movie is trying to convey. Religious men are not always good? That's cliché.

The film is, down and out, an amazing acting showcase for Robert Duvall. Maybe the best performance of his career, or at least since Apocalypse Now. It is an interesting character study with very raw, authentic direction, at points. However, the script could have used quite a bit more conflict at times. I really wanted the darker, more hypocritical side of Duvall's character to come out more in the second half of the film for those scenes in the first act were, by far, the film's most powerful.

Could have just been me but the foreboding sense of doom (intensified by the intense sudden violence) & waiting for a transformation in character makes this pretty interesting. Then again there's tons of preaching & conversions which go on & on, & what's the point? Fortunately we aren't told.

It's always a treat to watch Duvall carry a film in a character study, but he would've been well-served to have someone beside himslef direct him...
