This is a wonderful study of the face of evil and its impact upon the lives of its characters. The narrative is nonlinear and may be confusing at first if one is not warned, but once a viewer is aware of this he/she should have no difficulty understanding the film.
Nick Stahl played his role well, I don't think I heard any music in the film, gonna have to watch again soon Im still confused.
First, it's an impressive encapsulation of very small towns existing in crevices of the American Bible Belt. Tim Blake Nelson's camera floats around ominously, seemingly more interested in the spaces filled with remnants of what used to be, which are all enveloped by a place that feels perpetually empty with everyone just passing through, somehow even the people who live there.
I thought it was quite good. It gave me a feeling I haven't felt since I saw Sleepers.
This is one of very few movies that I can actually say changed my life. There has never been any other film or work of art that has had such an emotional effect on me.
This film is wonderfully acted and well directed. Martha Plimpton has never been better.
Eye of God, a suspenseful and painfully real story as narrated by Hal Holbrook who plays the town sherriff of an oil town in Oklahoma. He speaks of the story of Abraham & Isaac from the Old Testament with an air of sad resignation and cynicism.
I have watched this film approximately five times, and the depth of the acting and brilliant presentation of the plot continue to impress me.A small-town girl, played by Martha Plimpton, marries an ex-convict (who has to wear an ankle detector as a condition of his parole) immediately after he is released from prison.
I cannot think of anything about this film that I would say in support of rating it a Ten. Except that it was Not Bad.
