The Sunset Limited (Made for TV, 2011)
Super-religious Christian ex-con Black (Samuel L. Jackson) stops atheistic professor White (Tommy Lee Jones, who also directed) from killing himself, then brings White back to his apartment where Black tries to convince White there is a god. The two men spend the next hour and a half discussing life, death, the universe and everything; ultimately, Black loses the debate. White leaves, and Black sits back and questions his god's motives for "sending" him to White. The End.
Our take: It's better than it sounds (how can any two-character play with Jackson and Jones debating the meaning of life not be worth watching?), but strangely unmoving. Neither Christians (at least, the ones who know their stuff) nor atheists will come away with any revelations.
