I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Richard Pearce's "Leap of Faith" follows the path set by "Elmer Gantry", exposing what a fraud religion is. Steve Martin plays a con artist masquerading as a revivalist who goes from town to town convincing the gullible to give him money in the hope of salvation. But when he stops in a small town in Kansas, a new set of events gets set in motion.This is one of the occasional movies in which Martin appears that isn't a straightforward comedy, if at all. Others include "Grand Canyon" (about race relations in the US in the 1990s) and "The Spanish Prisoner" (about a con game). Martin's character in this movie is a charlatan among charlatans. Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't give the other cast members their due. Debra Winger, Lolita Davidovich, Lukas Haas, Liam Neeson, Meat Loaf and Philip Seymour Hoffman all turn in fine supporting performances. It's not a masterpiece, but still a movie that I recommend. It reminds us that these revivalists, faith healers, etc, aren't innocent; they bilk people out of their money. I guess that the title is deliberately ironic: far from taking his own leap of faith, Martin's character does what so many religious people have done for centuries.Good movie.

Steve Martin is Jonas Nightingale, a fraudulent faith healer with an entourage and several coaches, where he travels across America to different places where he sets up tent meetings to fleece the locals of their funds. One coach breaks down, stranding them in a small town, and Jonas decides to set up his act there while waiting for the coach to be repaired. He does so, attracts a large crowd, and arouses the suspicion of the local sheriff, who investigates.A number of problems occur with the movie, though. The locals are all too willing to be taken in by Jonas, the operation is overly sophisticated with computers and everything, Jonas readily admits to the suspicious sheriff that he is only a fraud, but worst of all, Steve Martin just doesn't fit the role of a highly charismatic con man.Some reviewers were upset by the "Hollywood ending", and said it would be have been better if Jonas had sickened of crime. I find the "Hollywood ending" more credible, as most criminals, especially when riding high, do not voluntarily give up their life of crime, and those who do find a cause to push them to give it up. What more appropriate way than what happens in the movie?

All good comedians, are good drama actors.It'd been a while since I saw this movie, and I had the chance to get it, yesterday. For starters, Steve Martin was great (as he usually does), so the supporting cast.One of the many reasons I love this movie is that it show us, graciously, a reality that many people couldn't or wouldn't accept (One of the reasons , I think, its low rate).Do not let fanaticism cloud your judgment.Nevertheless, if you like good stories with a nice in-message, or if you're just a fan of Mr. Martin, you can't miss this one.

LEAP OF FAITH takes an interesting premise but doesn't quite know what to do with it. Steve Martin is Jonas Nightingale, a fraudulent faith healer more interested in money and women then doing the Lord's work as he and his crew criss-cross the country putting on big tent revivals. A largely overlooked film, LEAP OF FAITH tries hard to blend some promising comedic elements with drama, but they mix about as well as oil and water. The film is also far too long, repetitive and lacking direction. Martin as the Elmer Gantryish star puts forth his usual likable effort, but even his considerable talents can't lift this one over the hump. A disappointment.
