There was a time when movie making was an art. A time when a masterfully written script would be cast by exceptional actors and brought to life by a visionary director.
Like three peas in a pod that work together and in unison to achieve one polished finished product.
Now before everyone attacks me and gets my post deleted or banned, I am a mature Christian and have watched my fair share of "religious" themed movies. Many were bad, a few were good and mostly due to the ego centric attitudes of the writers who often think they can also direct or act at the same time.
This movie is not worth a 9 or a 10. A good idea for a script, but a very poorly written script in the end.
Acting was sub par, mostly over the top and very unbelievable and unauthentic. There was zero emotional investment in any of the characters.
Sets were ok, sound was bad in some spots. But the writing was bad, so even with the best intentions of your actors, it failed to deliver.
Directing was sub par.
So it astounds and surprises me that for such a poorly made film, we have raving 9's and 10's, must see comments. Perhaps Gone with the Wind or 12 Angry Men could warrant such high marks. This movie is a 2 at best.
