A
street preacher encounters a man in a greasy rib joint and becomes
convinced that she has been chosen by God to bring this solitary
stranger to Jesus. What she doesn’t realize is that he is a hired
killer staking out the restaurant as he lies in wait for his
intended victim. Both the preacher lady and the hit man are

of 56 minutes, I think the piece would have needed
some trimming to cut about 15 minutes, or expand the
characters outside of the ribs joint to make it

yourself drawn into these one-hour quasi-movies
because the acting was strong and the stories struck
home. The new movie, Infidel has that same feel and
the same strengths.
