A valiant effort but pretty bad

This film was apparently a first time effort for its makers and with that in mind was not too awful…. The acting was not bad, pretty natural in fact, but was not helped by a script that lacked logic and progression and some dodgy direction. Quite often the characters seemed to have forgotten something they said a couple of minutes before and drama was forced into the script rather than created by writing craft and careful direction. This made some of the characters almost unbearable to watch, the policeman for example. The script writer could maybe have researched police procedure, shouting "I am a police officer…" does not grant much at all. The cinematography was professional and the sound track was OK though a little over powering at times.

I suspect that some of the glowing reviews were written by crew members, or friends of the director

slow. smart. boring.

I gave it a 4! Cause today I am happy and generous!OK, so it's not a complete waste of time, not your average B movie, more of a C category, could fill up some time if you seriously have nothing better to do, still I wouldn't recommend it. It goes hand in hand with "The Last Will and Testament of Rosalind Leigh", a tad bit of a different approach on the Christianity subject, but overall, it will bore you. So, yeah, try something different this time, as "Heretic" is maybe too slow, maybe lacks a serious budget and the director couldn't fully fulfill his dream, anyway, somewhere, something kinda died. But still, believe it or not, it gets better with time. Not so much a +, more of a...what a beginning.Heretic, an OK movie, that will disappoint the most!
