Father of Lies

About This Movie

Father of Lies is one of those dramas that dips into the murky waters of faith and morality. You have Clifton Powell as Bishop Calvin Jacobs, who carries a certain gravitas in his role. The film really navigates the tension between good and evil, showcasing how his character's intentions can spiral out of control due to ambition. There's a gritty realism that permeates the atmosphere, punctuated by some raw performances that feel quite visceral. The pacing varies — some moments drag a bit, but they serve to build that heavy, almost claustrophobic tension. It's not flashy with effects, but the narrative itself grips you. The film sheds light on the darker aspects of faith, and that makes it a distinctive watch, especially for those interested in the interplay of morality.
