The Good Shepherd (2004)
Well acted piece that focuses on what is valuable in life
29 June 2013 - 6 out of 6 users found this review helpful.
Well acted piece that is driven by dialogue, as opposed to action. The other reviews miss the point. Behind the loosely constructed mystery lie the question of what it means to lead a worthwhile life. An urbane priest is confronted with the resolve of another priest to preserve to the death the penitent's relationship with god in the confessional. He is a true believer and soldier of Christ.
The urbane priest's deep Christian convictions slowly drag him back to his original priestly calling. This journey is made in a very modern believable way, simply and as a matter of fact
Christian Slater's understated acting is magnificent. Each line delivered realistically while accentuating the emotion behind each line.
A low budget gem of a movie.
