Don't hate Christian films, "Midnight Clear" was a great film, and because it was a low budget Christian film, Stephen Baldwin's portrayal as Lefty was ignored for any award consideration.
But I hate stupid films that refuse to take the path of proper resistance. Case in Point:
So you're in a shack w/ God(s), your daughter was murdered by a serial killer THAT'S STILL OUT THERE LOOKING FOR MORE VICTIMS, and not once, not freaking once do you ask God "Where is he?"
This is where the movie fails. It would have been far more interesting, more challenging, and a better experience if the issue wasn't rehashed 16th century philosophy and instead, whether God would answer that question (Knowing the main character already off'ed his dad in the first 10 minutes of the film, and so was certainly capable of ridding a child killer).
Nope, 90 minutes of talking and nothing more. Die hard Christians will eat this up, moderates not so much.
