Duvall plays a Texas preacher, Eulis Dewey, on the lamb for smiting his fellow minister (Allen). Evidently, this Minister had been coveting, and laying his hands on, Eulis's wife (Fawcett). After doing his best Griffey Jr. impression on the minister's cranium, Eulis takes off to Louisiana where he begins a new ministry, until his past resurrects to find him. Impressively written, acted, and directed by Duvall. Also one of the best character studies I have seen, and a soul-searching look at a man's desire for redemption. Won many independent awards. Watch out for Billy Bob Thorton operating heavy machinery.
