Simply A Masterpiece

People are voting emotionally.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

You know what's worse than a bad movie? A bad movie with good actors who are trying desperately to tell a story. I saw the movie and it's possibly the worst movie I've seen in my life which is sad because I like James Remar and Bruce Davison. I think they're good actors. Not the best out there but they're decent. What I got was one of the most unrealistic, disjointed movies I've ever had the misfortune of seeing. Nothing here makes any sense. A Senator, played by Davison, wants to introduce a bill that will limit the Freedom of Speech of Christians. Not anybody else, just Christians and they will be unable to say that they know "the truth". Forget for a moment that such a thing could never happen due to the First Amendment. This is a fantasy movie after all. But we have James Remar as an evangelist who opposes this and Bruce Davison then frames him with the rape and murder of a teenage girl in order to silence him.What proceeds is really... incomprehensible. I tried to understand the motivations beyond just, "Christian good, non-Christian bad" but that's all I was able to get from it.If you're a die hard right wing Christian fundamentalist then this is right up your alley. It's a good VS evil story that plays right into your paranoia. This movie was literally made for you.If you're anybody else, I'd give this a pass.

I disagree with the reviewers who called this movie "pure Christian propaganda." There was nothing remotely Christian-like in this piece of narcissistic fantasy. Generally I love Christian movies, even when the production quality is slightly below par. But this one was just awful.Badly written (or edited), the script was extremely disjointed, and defied all logic as it jumped from scene to scene with no way to interpret what was happening. And the worst: if viewed by non-Christians, the message is one of extreme intolerance. Totally incongruous with the Christian values shared by millions.This movie deserved a zero rating, but the lowest rating available was one.

I thought the movie was well made. I thought the acting was great except for the little girl in the movie. She was looking at the camera in her scene. Other than that the acting was good. I thought the plot was interesting and a refreshing twist from the usual Faith based movie genre. Personally, however, I thought the movie was highly lacking in any real inspiration. I was put out that the priest is shown lighting up a large cigar and that drinking is portrayed as a normal Christian activity for ministers of the Word. That said, I can very well understand someone who stands up for the Word of God being a target of attack by those who would like to see the "order" of things on the religious scene to change. All in all I give the movie a 5 out of 10... equal on pros and cons in my opinion. I didn't hate the movie. I didn't love the movie. Would I recommend the movie? Not really.

I highly encourage people to see this film! It is truly wonderful! I believe that even though Christians are not being persecuted in the same way as Christians are in other parts of the world(Middle East for example), we are still being persecuted. This is very unfortunate. This film makes me want to ACT. See it!I strongly believe that you bring friends and family as well. Probably suitable for teen and up. I will be seeing again with my mom, aunt, uncle and 16 year old brother. Parts of it kind of scared me, but it was worth it. My friends loved it as well when I went to see it! Please, DO NOT MISS THIS MOVIE! I cannot wait to buy when it comes out on DVD! This film is very important for the youth to see as well. Bottom line- Go see this movie!
