Unlimitedia Sick Product of a Sick System

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

dramaqueen795 I am a Christian and I will say it always makes me nervous to watch a film that is one-plus I read the book first.My husband and I couldn't even finish the film for we were almost falling asleep in the middle of it. Its kind of sad to be watching a movie and saying to myself "what was it about this book that actually kept me reading? This film sucks".It was a cliché Christian film: The main character is semi-attractive but was most likely a JC Penny model and had no previous acting experiences.The music is too loud for the quiet scenes and is ALWAYS playing.Surprised that some of these big names signed up for the film.The plot was missing.Some of the camera angles made me feel like I was watching some high school film project.The diaologue felt awkward and made me feel almost embarrassed to be watching it.Was not suspenseful AT ALL! I have watched films that have had faith play out in them and they were powerful. What is up with the Christians making these films and making all of us look bad? Very disappointing.

dilillo1148 This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Not the worst, but up there... one of the top 10 worst, at least.Anyway, myself and two friends watched this from beginning to end, and sadly, we'll never get that time back.So, we decided on a way to strike back, so to speak. Misery loves company, so my friends and I hype this movie up to others as a great film. Malcom McDowell is always a good selling point, so there's that. And then we usually say that despite the "Jag guy" being in it, the movie is actually compelling. We even say that though we're not big fans of the show Jag (or the show's star), the "Jag guy" really came into this movie with his A game.(Yes,I actually own the film) Well, I've officially loaned this movie out to close to ten people (along with the help of my two friends), and each and every one of them hated it as well.Mission accomplished! This movie blows.

wallacewarmwater Got this from Netflix the other night to watch as a family.We were totally surprised to find something we could all watch.Best McDowell performance in a long time. Suspenseful... well shot...great character actors too.It was funny because I couldn't place on of The List members and just saw that he was Tom Cruise's father from Risky Business.Don't know why there are so many anti-Christian comments but this was a good film.And as far as it not being Southern... that is crazy and we live in NC. Never really heard of Hilarie Burton before but she stood out for us as did Will Patton.

chodieb I just finished watching this movie. It wasn't ridiculously bad, but I'm really disappointed with it. I'm not really sure why someone would make a movie like this. It was marginally entertaining, but I feel like the people making it had a lot of disagreements on what they were making. Monday, the writer was in charge; Tuesday, the director; Wednesday, the guy who gets the coffee; etc. It almost seems like they really wanted to make a couple different movies, but only had the time and money to make one.Someone else commented that the acting was really good, but I'd have to disagree. Then again, if the actors were able to keep a straight face during the filming, perhaps they're better actors than I give them credit for.The back of the DVD gives the impression that the movie would be a mystery... something along the lines of a historical Law and Order or National Treasure. It starts off like that, but then, out of nowhere it takes a turn towards a bad episode of the Twilight Zone, or... what was that other show that wasn't as good... A bad episode of The Outer Limits.My main complaint about the movie is that it is just so played out. There's the evil guy with spiked white hair. There's the love interest, who, when she first appears, the wind actually blows through her hair. Seriously. Once you realize it's a Christian movie, the end is also pretty easy to spot.The cinematography was poorly done, especially in the opening scenes - way to put your best foot forward. It wasn't atrocious for most of the movie, but there was the occasional ridiculously bad shot of an old lady, praying, arms up in a dark room while lightening is striking - the sort of thing that just makes you a little bit embarrassed to be watching the movie.
