A priest finds his faith tested when he's assigned to investigate a possible case of divine intervention. Rev. Frank Shore (Ed Harris) is a Catholic priest who works as a postulator, a church official who investigates reports of holy miracles to determine their veracity. Some time back, one of Shore's investigations had ugly repercussions, and now he devotes his time to running a soup kitchen. But he's called back to service by Bishop Cahill (Charles Haid) when a number of Catholics begin

Faces an uphill battle to make believers of its audience.
Well-acted but unsatisfying drama about researching a potential saint
...a thinking person's version of the millennial spiritual angst movie
An odd bit of spiritual dithering, not really bad but not really good.
The Third Miracle is a film rife with religious ideology but also steeped in the atmosphere of a classic detective novel.
Os personagens são capazes de levantar questões cujas respostas não são nada fáceis de se encontrar.
An absorbing religious drama.
What's ultimately best about The Third Miracle is how small and quiet a film it is.
Ultimately makes organized religion and its rules look a little silly. This could not have been intentional.
There would have to be a fourth miracle to get me to be a believer in this flick.
A little slow in getting started, "Third Miracle" builds well, Ed Harris filling the screen with brilliant acting.

[font=Century Gothic]"The Third Miracle" is about faith but the movie cheats by bringing up the possibility of miracles and sainthood. I liked how it explores the conflict between the poverty of the neighborhood(although they need material help, not just something to believe in) versus the wealth and power of the Catholic Church but there was something off in how Chicago was portrayed.

[font=Century Gothic]Ed Harris gives a monumental performance but he receives little support. Even the usually reliable Anne Heche and Armin Mueller-Stahl do not help. And Charles Haid simply chews the scenery. [/font]
