Synopsis:

Based on the novel by Larry Beinhart, 'Salvation Boulevard' stars Greg Kinnear as Carl, a former Deadhead who has traded in Jerry Garcia for God. He accidentally witnesses Pastor Dan (Pierce Brosnan), the leader of his new megachurch, commit a crime, and spends the rest of the film trying to make peace with his family, an atheist professor and a fellow Deadhead-turned security guard. Ratliff's fascination with religion stems back to his childhood in Amarillo, Texas, where he was raised as an evangelical Christian. He's since broken from the church and in his 2001 documentary 'Hell House,' even explored a megachurch's annual attempt to scare kids into Christianity through a haunted house.

The American culture war, that combustible, stupefying cocktail of religion, sex, politics and everything else that gets people hot and bothered, represents a rich vein of satiric and dramatic potential. George Ratliff's 'Salvation Boulevard,' adapted from a novel by Larry Beinhart ('Wag the Dog'), suggests that it may sometimes be too rich. The movie, set in and around a Sun Belt megachurch with a charismatic pastor, is a console full of jammed and disconnected hot buttons.
