    wasted plot for great actors

    These actors are great, why put them in the same ole "big bad religious entity" theme. It is so exhausting already. Oh yeah, the big movie industry is just going to enlighten everyone on how bad the Catholic church is!! Move on will you. The plot is so overdone.

    Awesome acting with a controversal plot.

    Great drama! The entire movie is supported by acting, which feed into the intriguing plot. Worth the watch and the full price paid for the movie ticket.

    Doubt

    by SteveHorrorFan

    A master class in capital-A acting. Streep and Hoffman lock horns as the stiff Sister Aloysius and the progressive Father Flynn. Adapted from a Pulitzer winning play, Doubt simmers with suspicion, then comes to a bubbling boil when Sister Aloysius points her finger at the priest, accusing him of inappropriate behavior with a 12-year-old alter boy. Oscar nominees Amy Adams (as a naive young nun) and Viola Davis (as the young boy's hear-no-evil mother) placed well in smaller roles. Writer-director John Patrick Shanley's heavy metaphors (apocalyptic windstorms, light bulbs that go out on cue) are hardly a mortal sin.
