Review of The Apostle (1997) by Lisa E — 18 May 2012
Many filmmakers have written, directed, and starred in their own films. "The Apostle" represents the most sincere of them all. It is a film fueled by the passion of its star, Robert Duvall. This is obviously a story that he feels deserves to be told and you can tell that he's put a lot of time and a lot of heart into it.
Like most others, "The Apostle" has its share of flaws, but Duvall's relentlessly charismatic and fascinating portrayal of a man trying to get his life back on track hides most of them. Hell, they should've just given him the Oscar.
No other actor that year was more enveloped in their character than he was.
