I saw “The Apostle” twice. I loved it. It is real, unpretentious, moving and real-life. The pastor of my church told me to see this movie after I shared with him my struggle with God and problems in my calling, my ministry, my life in general. The movie was expressive of that which I could not express in my own words.
The Apostle clearly was a well made movie. The acting was extraordinary, the directing first-class, and the script was excellent except for a few minor flaws. I don’t understand why the main character (Sonny) was dragged to church as a child by a black woman when his mother was a Christian.
The movie is being directed by Andrew Hyatt, who famously directed Paul, Apostle of Christ, and Full Of Grace. Starring in the biopic is Aron Von Andrian, Amelia Eve, Brielle Robillard, and Matthew Erick White.
For starters, Apostle is a dense horror-fantasy in the vein of the cult British film, The Wicker Man (not the ridiculous remake starring Nicolas Cage) and director Ben Wheatley’s Kill List - a departure from the martial arts mania of his Raid movies.
