Genres & Description

Action Crime Drama Thriller

5.5 / 10

Set in mountainous Sevier County, Tennessee, "Child of God" is based on the third novel by acclaimed writer Cormac McCarthy, first published in 1973. It tells the strange story of Lester Ballard, a dispossessed, violent man whom the narrator describes as "a child of God much like yourself perhaps." Ballard's life is a disastrous attempt to exist outside the social order in the 1960s. Successively deprived of parents and homes and with few other ties, Ballard descends literally and figuratively to the level of a cave dweller as he falls deeper into crime and degradation.

OK, I know it's a teaser, but, like, WTF? He's a child of God. Good for him. - @Monday, September 2, 2013 12:13 AM

You're not on fire yet.

You should probably look up the book this is based on to understand the trailer, and on that you'll probably understand why there's not much else you could put into a trailer, at least that would mean much more. The trailer might have probably intended to inspire some curiosity so you would look up, and then totally understand it, but clearly the level of ADHD tard rage of the average Youtuber was somewhat underestimated and all people can do is shoot off in comments. - @Sunday, September 1, 2013 9:16 PM

Then everyone would be able to make a Child of God Movie. Just get a crazy-looking man to stare at a moving camera. - @Sunday, September 1, 2013 7:03 PM

James Franco is such an egocentric idiot. He´s just directing movies for the sake of saying that he is an actor, author, producter, screenwritter, director, etc, etc. - @Sunday, September 1, 2013 7:01 PM
