Customer Reviews of The Apostate

Typical straight-to-video bad movie
The story meanders way too much, the plot is put together in a way very unconducive to a coherent structure, things happen that make no sense and contribute nothing to the main story, cliches abound, and I wasn't sure at what resolution Richard Grieco's character had arrived by the end in the US version. Was he going to leave the priesthood to pursue a relationship with the art student? Maybe I would have been more entertained had I seen the European version to which the other reviewers alluded. Otherwise, this was just another straight-to-video time waster. Who writes these scripts, anyway?!

One of the better Grieco movies
Ok, I've seen the European version with the sad end (didn't even know there was a "happy ending" in the US version). So, I guess I like the sad end more too. The idea of Richard Grieco as a priest is already an interesting one. Unfortunately it's not totally played to the full. Sometimes it's rather hard to see the priest standing there (not as a lack of Grieco's acting skills, but rather a lack of script and "room for a priest" there). It's an interesting action story with Dennis Hopper, but one wonders why there really was a need for a priest...besides the effect, of course.

Bridget White rates about TEN stars.
Wow. Who cares about the rest of it? That's the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen.
