Nun of That (2009)
Nun of That is an action-comedy that follows Sister Kelly Wrath as she transforms from a nun with a simple temper problem to a vengeful killer. After being gunned down in an alley, she ascends to heaven to receive training from some of the great figures of religious mythology (Moses, Gandhi, and Jesus himself). She is then set back to Earth to join the other members of the Order of the Black Habit, a group of supernatural vigilante nuns as they seek revenge against the mob.

Brilliant and touching
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Short-tempered Sister Kelly Wrath (a fabulously feisty performance by Sarah Nicklin) gets gunned down in an alley. She's subsequently chosen by God to join the vigilante squad The Order of the Black Habit, who are a group of crime fighting nuns on a mission to eradicate the mob. Director Richard Griffin, who also co-wrote the brash and irreverent script with Ted Marr, really makes the most out of the gloriously outrageous premise: We've got often hysterically profane dialogue (Sister Wrath swears like a truck driver), excessive bloody violence, lesbianism, broadly drawn stereotypical characters, wild bone-crunching fights, ninja rabbis, Gandhi popping up as a benign martial arts instructor (!), and even an incredible musical number featuring a rapping Jesus and a break dancing nun. Moreover, the lively cast has a field day with the off the wall material, with especially praiseworthy work from Alexandra Cipollo as the sweet and flirtatious Sister Pride, Shanette Wilson as the bawdy Sister Lust, Ruth Sullivan as the antagonistic Sister Gluttony, Rich Tretheway as fearsome mobster Momma Rizzo, Brandon Luis Aponte as the ruthless Richie Corbucci, and, in a truly stand-out turn, David Lavallee Jr. as vicious Jewish hit-man Viper Goldstein. Moreover, Michael Reed does sterling duty as a hip Christ and a supremely suave Satan, Deborah Rochon has a snappy bit as a fed-up Mother Superior, and Lloyd Kaufman makes a priceless cameo appearance as the pope. Jacob Larimore's vibrant cinematography provides a neat stylish look. Both the cool soundtrack and the funky throbbing score by Tony Milano and Daniel Hildreth hits the get-down groovy spot. A total riot.
A non-stop hilarious tale packed with awesome, ass-kicking characters! A look into the secret world of NUNS behaving badly. Ever wanted to know what Heaven REALLY looks like? Highly original, refreshing, and great splatter effects. I laughed so hard I cried. Mama's character is especially enjoyable - as well as Jesus, who also, curiously, doubles as the Devil!Best movie I've seen in a long time (and, not just saying that because I was lucky enough to be a part of it) - I have not laughed so hard in a movie theater for a number of years. Props to the whole SFR cast and crew!!
I have to say. I was quite impressed with the film! From the script, cinematography, acting, and editing, it was an overall success! Scorpio Film Releasing never ceases to amaze me. Laughter filled the theater! This movie had me laughing from beginning to end! I was blown away by the film. It is amazing to see an independent film of this scale. BRAVO!!!! to all involved in the film! This film is a curiosity and attention seeker. A movie about vigilante nuns fighting the mob? What more could you ask for! I have strong feelings this film is going to make it and it will become a huge success! Keep on making those crazy films SFR! I'll always buy a ticket!
By far the funniest low budget movie I've ever seen. It is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen period. I saw it at it's premiere in front of a packed house in Providence. The audience laughed from start to finish. I haven't spoken to anyone that did not enjoy it. Sarah Nicklin was fantastic as well as all the members of the cast. Well Directed and well shot. I've never seen and indie with this many principal performers.Richard Griffin wrote and Directed a great comedy that is bound to be a cult classic. Also kudos to Brandon Aponte gives a great comedic performance.Check it out.
