Flywheel (2003)
5/10
Poor low-budget acting but films message remains good throughout.
23 June 2016
The first time I watched this film was several years ago with my Church's Youth Group and I found it hilariously ridiculous due to it's poor acting and bad cinematography over all. I was so focused on the poor acting to notice that there was a message being told and a pretty good one. I'll admit that this movie is not for everyone. It is very lighthearted and has an innocent comedic nature about it but the message remains strong either way. The story follows the life of a crooked car salesman who finds that instead of being crooked and blatantly ripping off his customers that God is the only way to keep his business successful. Whilst the story holds strong bear in mind that this is a low budget film, and that not all the main protagonists circumstances are presented in a way that you feel sympathetic for him, not to say that you can't though, it is just fairly difficult from my point of view. This film had a lot of potential the story is great, if a larger Christian film producer had this in their hands it would be fairly good. Overall I do not recommend this film to everybody as I do not think people without Christian beliefs would be able to appreciate the message as much as people who do would, due to it's poor acting. I do think people that do have Christian beliefs or are fairly open to a film that is solely based on the fact where God is the solution to it all then yes. The film has a lighthearted feel and a good message. Would recommend to families as it has an understanding message and is simply easy to follow.
