閒閒無事,來去辯論,上帝到底在不在,有請牧師說明白。一個擦槍,牧師走火, 倒了一個無神論者。教友卡爾目睹一切,私下叫了救護車,還道好心有好報,豈料狂熱信徒卻來追殺要滅口。這下不用等月黑雁飛高,卡爾白天就得逃。老婆大人擺一邊,性感保全愛相隨,而岳父、女兒沒來亂,卻被無良建商綁架走,這……究竟又是為哪樁?

電影改編自賴瑞班赫(《桃色風雲搖擺狗》原著作家)同名小說「Salvation Boulevard」。僅八百萬美國獨立製片的預算卻端出好萊塢黃金級演員陣容:皮爾斯布洛斯南(黑心牧師)、葛雷肯尼爾(衰尾教友)及珍妮佛康納莉(冷感老婆)。奧斯卡級的瑪麗莎托梅、艾德哈里斯也都在片中軋上一角。

喬治拉堤夫擅長用詼諧口吻以相反觀點來處理宗教題材。2001年紀錄片《Hell House》獲獎無數。2007年更以首部劇情長片《天魔約書亞》驚艷日舞影展,隨即得到了好萊塢知名製作人Cathy Schulman(《衝擊效應》製片)的青睞,獲得了改編與執導這部片的機會。

Preacher Dan Day (Pierce Brosnan) has captivated the town with his charm. Carl (Greg Kinnear), a former follower of the Grateful Dead, has since become “found” in Dan’s Evangelical community, serving as one of the preacher’s great examples of spiritual and moral transformation. But Carl’s new belief system is turned upside down when witnessing a sinful act Dan made. Meanwhile, Carl finds himself on the run, torn between Honey (Marisa Tomei), a sexy security guard, and his militantly devout wife (Jennifer Connelly).

獨立製片的小成本,卻端出黃金卡司陣容,原因就是劇本太棒了。
