Where to Watch The Apostle
- Mister ArnMarch 1, 2026The Apostle is written, directed, and starring Robert Duvall in a character study wrapped in a religious drama. A Pentecostal preacher implodes, then reinvents himself, and tries to outrun both the law and his own flaws. The sermon scenes are electric, not because they’re flashy, but because they feel authentic. You believe he loves God. You also believe he’s dangerous.
