This was the worst movie I have ever had the misfortune of watching. Shame on Netflix for giving me a 97% recommendation, shame on Wes Miller for creating such a disaster, and shame on Columbus Short for being involved in this trash.
The director obviously has some issues with the church in which he set forth to vehemently voice in this film. While the theme of the story is an issue alive and well within churches of all sizes, it's painfully obvious through the dialogue of the film. Not only is the dialogue excruciating to sit through, the acting was painful for every single actor. The fighting scenes were sub par. There were, at times, moments that made absolutely no sense. Lastly, the start of the movie was a slow build that immediately made me lose interest (yet I somehow kept watching until the end).
I will say, however, that I appreciate the moments in the movie that had me rolling over laughing. The dramatic, literal fading out of scenes, the overly dramatic and unnecessarily slow reveal of Columbus Short (the movie's only well-known, if not recognizable, actor) and Laura Bishop's corny sudden "awakening" after she has a flashback of her husband's death.
Honestly, I really need Wes Miller to read the reviews of this movie and take heed. I understand he put work out that I'm sure he stands behind and, by all means, he should be proud of himself for actually setting his mind to come up with an idea and execute it. However.... dude should seriously not make any more movies until he takes a directing or writing class or something. This movie was absolutely unbearable and stupid and waste of resources and money.
