Good movie but grossly overrated
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
RELEASED IN 2013 and directed by Gabriel Sabloff, "Revelation Road: The Beginning of the End" stars David A.R. White as a traveling salesman in the deserts of the Southwest with a dark past, who just wants to get home to his wife (Jen Lilley) and daughter. But his plans are disturbed by a crazy outlaw biker gang and a wise gun store owner (Ray Wise), his granddaughter (Noell Coet) and wife (Eliza Roberts), not to mention the foreboding lightning and tremors. Brian Bosworth plays the head thug while Eric Roberts appears as the sheriff. The striking Andrea Logan White is also on hand as one of the gang members.This film and its immediate sequel, "Revelation Road 2: The Sea of Glass and Fire," were shot back-to-back and released four months apart in 2013. "Revelation Road: The Black Rider" (2014) completes the trilogy. I have yet to see the two sequels, but the fact that this movie is the beginning of a trilogy should be kept in mind in appraising it. In other words, it's a foundation for a greater work and not a stand-alone film.If you're familiar with Christian productions from the new millennium, like "Left Behind: The Movie" (2000), "Deceived" (2002), "Fireproof" (2008), "Cutback" (2010), "I Am" (2010), "Abel's Field" (2012), "Do You Believe?" (2015), "War Room" (2015) and "God is Not Dead 2" (2016), this film is cut from a different cloth (of course, you could say the same for "Deceived" and "I Am").Imagine if Tarantino made an oddball evangelical flick on a low-budget; that's what this movie's like. The outlaw bikers are depicted better than in most of those dubious biker flicks from the late 60s and early 70s while the action is so over-the-top it's almost cartoony, but not really if you consider the Las Vegas massacre and similar insane public bloodbaths. There's a meandering, almost unfocused vibe to the proceedings, which can be defended on the grounds that it reflects the meaningless of life. Regardless, the limited-budget filmmaking is competent enough and the actors are stalwart and convincing.There's a killer ultra-heavy cut on the soundtrack that appears during the prologue and later in the movie, as well as a great modern rock song during the end credits. There's also a couple of moving mellow songs by Serena Matthews, one during the final credits (after the rock song).THE FILM RUNS 88 minutes and was shot in the deserts of the American Southwest (I can't find info on the exact locations). WRITERS: Sean Paul Murphy & Sabloff.GRADE: B-/C+ (5.5/10)
Great movie! Sadly those who are negative about it and 'hate' certain things/people are negative people themselves. How sad to judge people before you know them. It comes down to the fact that you are just plain jealous... doesn't it just make you feel miserable inside?? Yes, and I hope you find release.
I'll prologue this by saying I'm not a Christian. I also don't discount a movie because it was created with a Christian message in mind. A good writer and director can make anything entertaining. This movie had neither.Not the worst movie I've ever seen. Could have cut out a lot of the preachy God and Jesus bits, and saved a lot of time. The lead actor, David A.R. White, is pretty wooden. I get that he is supposed to be this "man with a past" but watching him attempt to act just leaves me caring less.If you're bored and are looking for some noise in the background, not a bad choice. Just tune out every time someone starts to talk about religion.
This movie was amazing. Atheists & Agnostics that are given the movie a terrible rating just because it's a Christian movie proves how hypocritical they are. They claim that it's religious propaganda to shove Christian beliefs down their throats, yet they leave a terrible rating because it is against their belief. ISN'T THAT WEIRD? These atheists want us to belief (or dis-believe) what they believe and get upset when we don't, yet complain about it when it's the other way around. HYPOCRITES HYPOCRITES HYPOCRITES!This movie was amazing, great acting and amazingly close to what I would imagine the end times to actually be, it's actually kind of scary. Obviously if you don't believe in this stuff, or at least aren't curious to know what we believe, don't watch the movie or at least don't leave a negative review just because it goes against something you believe, or don't believe is real or not real.
