Julia Roberts who plays the title role carries the film in a slow, darkly driven character study of good vs evil, and in a way love. Julia Roberts has never been better, even in her Oscar winning role. She really gives a very thoughtful, quiet and subtle performance that is the strongest thing about the film. While Stephen Fears gives his best try by creating this bleak, mysterious world , the film itself gets carried away with in itself and can at moments be over the top. The performance of Malcovich is pretty unbelievable and totally underacted in typical Malcovich style which drags the film down. But Roberts performance is great , even for those who are not fans of the actress, this serious turn is well done.

i thought this movie was really stupid and the acting to be really bad. It just seems like some quickly put together trash, trying to tie in religion in such a brainless way. What is John Ryes Davies , a great actor doing in this garbage? as Far as bill Pullman, well he lost it years ago. i feel like the television companies take us for fools, like why cant we have a well thought out, well constructed, good acting etc. It is like so much money goes into making such a trivial mini series when there are so many more interesting topics, or even ways of dealing with the films religious themes. Boo to the makers of this so called movie. Lazy.
