Der Sin-Eater William Eden wandelt auf Erden und kann, als eine Art Gegenstück zur Kirche, Sünden vergeben. Geschieht dies nicht, so werden die Seelen in die Hölle geschickt, um dort ewige Verdammnis zu erfahren. Als dieser unsterbliche Anti-Priester nun dem Mentor des Priesters Alex Bernier die Sünden abnimmt, macht sich der junge Mann nach Rom auf, um den mysteriösen Tod zu klären. Hilfe erwartet ihn nicht nur von seinem alten Freund Thomas Garrett, sondern auch von dem mysteriösen Driscoll.
Gesamte Besetzung von Sin Eater - Die Seele des Bösen
Peter Weller delivered a nuanced and commanding performance as Captain Alexander "Lex" Driscoll in the 2003 supernatural thriller "The Order." As a dedicated veteran of the Catholic Church's secretive and ancient exorcism unit, Weller's Driscoll is a man of deep faith and discipline, grappling with the duality of his own dark past and the spiritual warfare he faces. Weller perfectly embodies the character's internal conflict, expertly balancing Driscoll's stoic exterior with the internal turmoil of a soul haunted by both personal demons and the literal ones he is sworn to combat. His portrayal is layered with an underlying vulnerability that juxtaposes the character's physical and mental fortitude, making Driscoll a complex and memorable figure in the film's eerie narrative. Weller's seasoned presence brings a sense of gravitas to the role, ensuring that Driscoll's journey from a dogmatic enforcer to a more empathetic and questioning individual resonates with the audience, enhancing the film's thematic exploration of faith, redemption, and the nature of evil.
