A good dark comedy but I have to remember just because the cast is great doesn’t mean the movie will be. I say B-
“I am the anointed servant of God and I tell you to be silent!” Deadhead turned born-again-Christian Carl (Kinnear) is friends with the pastor of his local mega-church Dan Day (Brosnan) and is invited to accompany him to scientist Dr. Paul Blaylock’s (Harris) house for a discussion. When a terrible accident happens Carl finds himself fingered in the incident and does everything he can to prove he is innocent. Things aren’t always easy though. Having never seen a preview for this I was excited for this based off the cast alone. While I will say this is a good movie and a very dark comedy I was a little disappointed. The main flaw this had was that the movie had a good idea but had only ten minutes of it. There was a lot of repeating going on and a few scenes that seemed like they were only put in to increase the running time. I have to say that Brosnan and Kinnear played very similar parts to the ones they played in “The Matador” (which is a better movie) but it seems to fit them. It may sound like I’m bashing this movie. I don’t mean to if that’s how it comes off. I did enjoy it and laughed a few times but based off the cast I was a little disappointed (but after movies like “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” and “Son Of No One” I need to stop thinking just because the cast is great means the movie will be great.) Overall, a decent dark comedy that is worth watching but tone down your expectations. I give it a B-.
Bomb that had potential
I didn’t really know anything about this film when I sat down to watch it. And it started off well, with an over-the-top evangelist (Pierce Brosnan) debating an atheist (Ed Harris). I settled back in my chair and listened to their short debate and thought the film showed promise. Then it alternatingly got a little foolish or a little serious, and frankly, it was when segments were more serious that the film shined. But then another comedy/satire scene would come on, and it would all fall apart. When I read about the film and realized what a flop it had been I questioned whether I wanted to finish watching it. I did, but…So, in the first part of the movie the evangelist accidentally shoots the atheist in the head with a Civil War pistol…first, but not the last bit of silliness. It mostly went downhill from there.
The sad thing is that this film had a decent cast. I remember Pierce Brosnan from way back in 1981 in the miniseries “Manions of America”, and I thought that there is an actor to watch. I’ve since been more disappointed than impressed, although every once in a while he has managed an impressive performance…this is not one of them, although the role of a powerful leader of a mega-church certainly held promise. Greg Kinnear has often impressed me, although considering his beginnings on “Talk Soup”, that surprised me. Again, this was not one of his performances — as an ex-Deadhead and member of the mega-church — that impressed me. I’m not familiar with Jennifer Connelly, and also not impressed in terms of this performance. I often enjoy performances of Marisa Tomei, and I feel she is an underrated actress. This casting of her was abominable…as a pot-smoking campus security guard. Ed Harris is not usually one of my favorites, although I concede he’s a fine actor. And here I really enjoyed him; too bad he had so little screen time as the atheist. Jim Gaffigan as a worker in the mega-church…please Satan, deliver me from any more of his screen work. Ciarán Hinds…now, here is a character actor I only recently discovered, and he’s always impressed me…as he does here as the father-in-law of Kinnear. Yul Vazquez as a Mexican crime lord…well, okay.
Bottom line — this film might have had a chance as a straight drama. But as a comedy/satire it was a disaster.
