A lay preacher arrives at a British settlement in 1830s. His violent past is soon drawn into question and his faith put to the test, as he finds himself caught in the middle of a bloody war between Maori tribes.

Catch-22 says: The Convert is a disappointing film with a weak plot that fails to engage the audience. While the characters are decently developed, they are not enough to save the lackluster storyline. The acting is passable, but nothing remarkable. Overall, the film lacks entertainment value and falls short of expectations. The pacing is slow and makes it difficult to stay engaged. The dialogue feels forced and unnatural at times. Despite its potential, The Convert ultimately falls flat. It's a shame as the premise had promise, but it fails to deliver on its potential. The lack of depth in the plot leaves much to be desired. The characters are forgettable and fail to leave a lasting impression. Even with some redeeming qualities, such as decent character development, it's not enough to make up for the overall disappointment of the film. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend The Convert as an entertaining watch.
