Traveling Route 66, a charismatic preacher, Reverend Johnny Jones, and his seductively beautiful Latina girlfriend, Rebecca, find their lives spiraling out of control as they travel from small town to small town; running their scam on the churches they encounter along the mother road. He's able to convince people he has the power to heal their illnesses and solve their most dreadful life experiences. But what the couple think is their scam begs the question does he really have the power? It's a question that haunts him and only intensifies his inner demons. Scarred for life, his childhood abuse from his evil father won't soon go away. He finds temporary refuge at the bottom of each bottle of tequila and endless grams of cocaine that goes up his nose. His childhood demons will not subside, neither will his vices. In the end, his powers serve as a blessing and a curse. Hang on tight while we follow this perilous couple's journey into the abyss of miracles and tragedy.

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

How sad is this?

Derry Herrera

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Well, this utter crap should be thrown in sink, right after first watch of someone with brain. What we have: utterly idiotic plot, about some junkie who needs money for it. Absolutely not realistic girlfriend, who wants marriage, kids, normal life. With who ? In reality, she would leave him in 15-th minute of movie. Then, those killings without any sense at the end. Worst end possible. If this was intended as some Christian message, then I must say that: no, such people will be not selected by God for something higher after life. They will go straight in Hell. Absolute lack of logic - he swapped his life for life of victims. Can it turn time back ? All aftermath what is caused ? If this would be some time travel movie, that could be tolerable. But this was not it, despite classified as sci-fi here. Total wrong. Just sick brain made crap. I'm sure, some junkies felt good watching it. Ratings: Jesse James 4Mariana P. Vicente: acting 3 , look: 9Norman G. McGuire: script: -10000000000000000000000 , directing: 2For the end, Latina chick seemed as not pure Latina :-) Life is mostly not about luck. It's about self improvement. In this crap, they did all in wrong direction.

My comment comes a little bit late, but I've seen this movie two days ago for the first time. It's a pretty good road movie type thriller. If it would have had some more action, it could have rated between 8 and 9, but I'll give it a 7. Jesse James (the actor) is all grown up now.

I will go see a good Indy Film over the Hollywood Blockbusters every day of the week. The Filmmaker told a great story (original) and carried it all the way to a great ending. Having hot chicks in the movie is never a bad thing either. Two thumbs up!

...but, it's original content. It's not "Machine Gun Preacher" or the TV Show "Preacher". It's not even a hybrid. I don't think it's even close to "Badlands" as others have stated. I think the movie is a drug fueld want-a-be preacher gets some powers from above. The GF thinks he's a nut case while she begs him for cash to buy some new shoes. The preacher is f'ed up from being beat up by his sob dad. The preacher wants to do good, but can never catch a break. The drugs consume him.
