Steve Martin plays it straight in this drama which should have at least earned him an Oscar nomination for best actor. It is a story of a phony evangelist who preys on down and out people just to get the last few dollars they have. It makes no difference to him that the people of the town he has come to are praying for rain to save their crops so they will be able to live a meaningful life again.
But then things start to happen that he cannot explain. He begins to question his own presence of being. Is he truly a miracle worker? Or is there another explanation for what is going on?
Credible supporting performances by Debra Winger and Liam Nisson. See this film and appreciate a role that Steve Martin was born to play.
