Plot summary

Years after a drunken car crash that almost took his life, Tommy Carter (Mackie) has reinvented himself as a therapist/spiritual advisor who advocates a synthesis of world religions and positivity. He's parlayed this vocation into a successful book release that one day draws the attention of Angel Sanchez (Whitaker), a profoundly troubled man fixated on the "untimely" death of his mother. When Carter takes on Sanchez as a personal client in an effort to raise funds for his indebted brother Ben (Epps), things quickly take a turn for the worse. Angel needs much more than a simple life coach. Then begin madness and horror.

Reception

Repentance was poorly received by critics. On Rotten Tomatoes it has a score of 20% based on reviews from 5 critics.[7]

gollark: But that's not remotely decentralized, and the NFTs don't even bother to contain hashes of the image or anything, so it's entirely possible to make your server show different people different things.
gollark: See, storage on-chain is really expensive, so most NFTs just contain URLs for the actual image.
gollark: Oh, that reminds me, NFTs are really stupidly implemented most of the time too.
gollark: * either → any
gollark: The "cryptocurrencies" without either of those are stupid and not decentralized.
