“The Padre” (** out of four) was a disappointing border melodrama about the title character known as The Padre (Tim Roth), a con man masquerading as a priest who is on the run from a grizzled U.S. marshal (a more haggard-than-ever Nick Nolte) and a local lawman (Luis Guzman) who goes off on one last heist in Mexico with a precocious 16-year old (Valeria Henriquez) who blackmails him so she can accompany him. Never all that compelling or exciting and goes on too long. Interesting cast is left high-and-dry and Roth’s usual first-rate performance is wasted. You can only imagine what Sam Peckinpah may have done with material like this.
