Jake, a black pastor in The Second Chance (2006), is abrasive and insulting, although at other times he is too good to be true. Not a well-drawn character.
Ethan, a white associate pastor, is poorly acted by Michael W. Smith. Steve Taylor’s Christian movie doesn’t work. It has a good feel for inner city life, but is sometimes less than credible: e.g. Ethan doesn’t seem to be secretly hoping other people are watching him give alms in the ‘hood, and yet this is what mean Jake repeatedly accuses him of.
