Preacher Mel? No Way!

Rating: Null/10 (22 March 2003)

Disappointing. Miscast and mostly dull and uninvolving. I had great expectations after The Sixth Sense but this is mighty boring and downright laughable in the last 15 minutes. The script is one almighty snoozefest. Phoenix is lost in this movie and Mel tries hard but never cuts it as the preacher who has lost his faith. Predictable movie that is trying to be worthy and philosophical at the same time but really goes belly-up early on and never recovers. Those responsible for this should have known better. Not reccomended.
