Honestly, beforehand, I have never heard of this movie but since it was starring Robert Duvall, I thought I should give it a try anyway. Actually, it is also one of the few movies directed by Robert Duvall, I thought personally that it was actually pretty good and it seems that it was a really personal project for Duvall.

"Basically, The Apostle is just an excellent independent effort by Robert Duvall in an "engripping" tale of a troubled on-the-lam minister who finds a new ministry and as a result, a newfound chance at redemption. Also includes great supporting performances by Farrah Fawcett and Billy Bob Thornton. "
