O.K, so not a bad movie in terms of acting etc,.. BUT the whole story was SO watered down to make it supposedly palatable for the secular audience. The question is WHY? If Christians can't get across the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, then we are wasting our time and everybody else's, and that is exactly what this movie does. Seriously, if Christians truly believe that without Christ, the world is going to Hell, then are we supposed to give them an "in flight movie" to watch during the trip??!! or are we going to try to change their destination?
Particularly annoying to me was the way the preacher conducted the "exorsisms",.. "And Jesus said come out!"....I'm sure demons are more aware of what Jesus "SAID" than we are, but that little historical quote won't make one leave, the scriptures are clear that we must ask in Jesus' NAME. That small typo would make the world of difference in a real life situation, the pastor would've ended up getting his butt beat by a raving demoniac!!
If anyone is thinking of screening this movie as an outreach, forget it. There's no real Gospel content, run a Bookclub and review the book instead, it's the real deal.
