...urge you all to go see it. Sure it’s rated R, but that’s only for the violence. There is no sex in this movie,” televangelist Marcus Lamb assures his Christian audience. Jesus is tortured, flagellated, crucified and killed, but luckily doesn’t try to hook up with Mary Magdalene...
...seconds later the smile is gone, and Bratton is back on message. "We have a domestic-terrorist problem here--gangs," he says with the urgent conviction of a televangelist.
