This Creepy Thriller

The Eyes of Tammy Faye
In the battle between faith and wealth, the winner is obvious for materialism in this director's delightfully tacky film adaptation regarding the shamed televangelist and her felon spouse. The actor acts as the venal Jim, who states early on, asserting religious justification for riches. The couple commence profiting from the nation's spiritual convictions. It's a spectacle of poor styling, excessive cosmetics and bad faith, however the lead actress achieves to show the character in a likable light. Next Tuesday, early morning, on Film4
This Espionage Thriller
This period's additional entry from Steven Soderbergh is a spy mystery as sharp as the polo necks worn by Michael Fassbender's UK spy.
