Three Priests (2008)

Member Rating:

A romantic rivalry strains the bonds of an already fragile family relationship in this independent drama. Jake Sands (Michael Parks) runs a ranch on the plains of Montana with his wife Rachel (Olivia Hussey). Jake and Rachel have two grown sons; Joe (Aaron Duffey) is a dutiful young cowboy who helps his father look after the cattle, while Dusty (Alexander Martin) is a nomadic rodeo rider with an eye for the ladies and a knack for getting in trouble. Jake makes no secret of the fact he doesn't approve of Dusty's wild ways and he dotes on his younger and more devoted son. Familial tension simmers beneath the surface when Dusty comes home for a visit, but the rivalry between the two brothers explodes when Joe learns that he and Dusty have both been dating Abby (Julia Jones), a local beauty they've known since childhood. When Joe and Dusty's anger explodes into deadly violence, Jake is forced to make some painful choices that could poison his future. Three Priests was an official selection at the 2008 Cinequest Film Festival in San Jose, California. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

This is a mess. The DVD has no special features, no chapters, no audio enhancements or sub-titles. You will not be able to understand at least 50% of the movie because of the poor audio. It is as if they reversed the voices to the background and used the never ending wind and terrible music with constant drums to the foreground. Good luck. The cinematography was terrible. They used some sort of sepia filter to soften and washout the entire picture. I am sure there was a decent story line to this film but I could not hear it. I tried every control on my stereo receiver to no avail. The movie is very slow and than has one of the worse endings of all time. Maybe it would have made more sense if I could have understood more of the story line. If I could rate the 1000's of DVD's I have seen in order this one would be at the bottom of the list.

I thought this film was visually stunning. The dvd packaging and the dvd itself conveyed a different message than what the film actually was. The story was somewhat predictable but it didn't lag and held its own over the course of the film. The visuals carried the film while the acting held up its end throughout. Overall it was an enjoyable film.
