You know what's worse than a bad movie? A bad movie with good actors who are trying desperately to tell a story. I saw the movie and it's possibly the worst movie I've seen in my life which is sad because I like James Remar and Bruce Davison. I think they're good actors. Not the best out there but they're decent. What I got was one of the most unrealistic, disjointed movies I've ever had the misfortune of seeing. Nothing here makes any sense. A Senator, played by Davison, wants to introduce a bill that will limit the Freedom of Speech of Christians. Not anybody else, just Christians and they will be unable to say that they know "the truth". Forget for a moment that such a thing could never happen due to the First Amendment. This is a fantasy movie after all. But we have James Remar as an evangelist who opposes this and Bruce Davison then frames him with the rape and murder of a teenage girl in order to silence him.What proceeds is really... incomprehensible. I tried to understand the motivations beyond just, "Christian good, non-Christian bad" but that's all I was able to get from it.If you're a die hard right wing Christian fundamentalist then this is right up your alley. It's a good VS evil story that plays right into your paranoia. This movie was literally made for you.If you're anybody else, I'd give this a pass.

Perhaps this movie was released a year too early. If you look through the reviews you will see many who say that persecution against Christians isn't happening. For those that truly believe that, you're either ignorant of current events or woefully prejudiced. Globally Christians are being horribly executed and here, in the USA, there is no longer a legal right to voice opinions according to one's own faith.This movie is about truth and lies, about good versus evil, about government going beyond its given rights. It's not about Christians being persecuted. It's about agendas being forwarded without the consent of the people.In a country where the media controls what is and is not distributed for consumption and most people not willing to seek out the truth, it is a look into the near future. Our legislators are approving legislation that they have not read and was not written by those we have elected to handle this job for us. The people's rights are being quickly overtaken. This movie is about what can, and probably has taken place to control those who will not submit.The acting is superb. The story is excellent and the suspense handled like mainstream movies. I would not agree that it is a 'Christian' movie. You will be on the edge of your seat. The main character says 'If you take away a man's freedom to speak his mind in a country founded on that very principle, then we have no country at all'. These are cautionary words for people of any faith and so 'ripped from the headlines'.

There was nothing about this movie that was disappointing in my opinion. The only thing that is disappointing is the number of stars that this movie has by most of the viewers. I don't even think that this movie was in the theaters and now I know why. It speaks the truth! Nowadays it seems that any type of religious movie will never hit the theatres, because "they" don't want anyone to know the truth. The main character and all of the other actors & actresses of this movie did an excellent job and the plot was awesome! If you didn't get what this movie was TRULY telling you, then you will truly be the one lost in the end. Read your bible people; it's all right there. And make sure that you are prepared for His coming.

Great thriller! Very truthful depiction of corruption from top to bottom! Great cast! I expect non-conservatives not to like it because of true story line of what is happening in the country right now, and what will happen even more in the future. This is a movie about freedom of speech and fight for it. It is also a movie about faith and how to keep and protect it even from friends. About how Judeo-Christian faith is different from all others, and for the ones who are not educated on Book of Revelation, it's not even making sense to be persecuted for what the hero is trying to protect the country from. It is about how somebody who gets out of mainstream mentality, can get in trouble looking like a criminal. About how those who are criminals can have power to discredit those who are not with them
