I've not seen it but it's on my Netflix list... it was highly recommended by a lot of people on another Christian messageboard.

I haven't seen it but I've heard that it's very very cliche.

I never heard of 'sin-eating' before, so it would be a very original movie for me,LOL! I've also never read any of Francine Rivers books.

lol, maybe predictable is a better word.

I just saw it this week. I liked it.

I read the book a couple of months ago. I Loved the book, I think it is better than the movie. I guess that's the way it often goes, since it is hard to put everything from a novel into a film.

HIGHLY recommend Francine Rivers novels! Especially "A Voice In The Wind."

I saw an ad for it at my local christian book store. I would really like to know what it is all about.

Did you ever see the tv series "Christy"? It just came out on DVD.
The man who plays Brogan Kai in "The Last Sin Eater" was a regular on "Christy." Stewart Finlay-McLennan.

If you haven't seen "Christy" I think you'd love it! The series ran for 2 years, wish it had been on much longer.

I just saw "The Last Sin Eater". My husband and I both really enjoyed it.

It is unlike anything I've ever seen. I didn't think it was cliche.

It is not for small kids. Definitely an adult movie. I thought it was pretty "dark" in some scenes.

I would recommend it. Thumbs up.

The fact that it is a Christian movie and that Christians seemingly can't write good stories if their lives depended on it is the reason I'll never see this.

It's different..

I read the book, "The Last Sin Eater" about a year before I saw the movie.

Actually there is absolutely nothing cliche or predictable about this book/movie.

The book was awesome, and clearly defined how some old time cultures lived their lives knowing nothing of Jesus and salvation.

The movie was lacking several important aspects of the book, which would have explained a lot of holes. (For example, the whole story of the Sin Eater's identity, and who is family was).

Francine Rivers is , simply the best Christian Fiction writer I have ever read. Her Mark of the Lion Trilogy is flawless, and a huge blessing to anyone who reads them. (A Voice in the Wind, An Echo in the Darkness, and As Sure as the Dawn).

I would *LOVE* to see these books made into movies, but I would hate to see them destroyed like so many books are when they are brought to film!

The Sin Eater movie was great. When you get the DVD see the extra stuff on the DVD and it will tell you about where she got the story for her book.
