Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Alan Jones

Noted British actor Nigel Patrick (The League of Gentlemen, Tales from the Crypt) also directed two movies, including this interesting, if flawed, religious-themed drama, which features a terrific transatlantic cast. Atheist author William Bendix upsets the local Irish community with his anti-religion ranting and tells God to strike him down, if he does indeed exist. Enter stranger Aldo Ray, who shoots Bendix dead and then goes on trial saying God told him to do it. Asked by the killer's defence lawyer if his client's assertion could be true, Father Carey (Patrick) delves deep and discovers the truth behind the murder, which involves anonymous Bible-quoting letters and a plagiarism lawsuit. Beginning with a supposed miracle and ending on a shock revelation, the film contains enough engaging twists and turns to entertain, as long as you're able to ignore the mounting improbabilities of the plot.
