Sinister Minister (2017 TV Movie)
7/10
Portrait of a Hustler
9 June 2020
Warning: Spoilers
In "Sinister Minister," the pastor of the fictional town of Brightside has fallen to dark side due to weakness of the flesh. After meeting newcomer Trish Corbett, the pastor known to the town as DJ makes the decision to eliminate his wife Betsey in a staged auto accident. This follows the mysterious death of his previous wife, Jewel, who allegedly hanged herself.

Trish has in tow a feisty daughter named Siena, who instantly recognizes DJ as a charlatan. It was a weakness of the screenplay that the savvy eighteen-year-old would suddenly change her tune, fall prey to the reverend's charms, and begin an affair with him, selling out her poor mother.

It was equally improbable that Trish would virtually beg DJ to marry her shortly after the death of Betsey. It made no sense when Trish's ex named Wells failed to show up for a dinner, Trish panicked by agreeing to tie the knot with DJ. Unbeknownst to her, DJ had tidied up loose ends by murdering the decent Wells.

The actor playing DJ turned in admirable work as the hustler who bamboozled women for his lascivious urges. Thanks to the efforts of a wily female detective, the walls start to close in on DJ. The sinister minister is exposed for the fraud, womanizer, and murderer who has brought pain and anguish to the community of Brightside.
