The Penitent Man tells the story of psychologist Dr. Jason Pyatt, a man devoted to his work - a man torn from his family. With his struggling marriage and mounting bills, Jason is at a crossroads with the life he has chosen and the life he could have. When one of his clients - the mysterious Mr. Darnell - walks into his office and paints him a repentant tale of future economic and moral collapse, Jason's eyes are forever opened. With the help of his best friend Ovid, he embarks on a personal mission to change the course of his future, and possibly the world, forever. Written by

Someone said this was thought provoking and based on that and the cast list, I thought I'd give this a try. As far as I can see the main villain in this movie is the script writer. While the plot was interesting if predictable, this film has some fine actors which do their best during some (albeit tear-less) crying scenes. The worst part is that there is way too much expository monologue.
If you like emotional drivel ("...where did it all go wrong...") then tune into something with better scripts, like the Jerry Springer show.
While this would've made a fine Twilight Zone episode, there's just not enough there to stretch into a full length film.
Like I said, it's too late for me. Save yourself.
