AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Tom Dooley Brett Granstaff plays Chris who is an ex Professional and masked wrestler. He retires to become a Pastor in a parish that is on the wrong side of the tracks. Once there he sees the crime and violence and a church in the grip of a megalomaniac and a congregation that is dwindling beyond the point where the church could be economically viable.So he resurrects his old job to help his new community. This film is based on the true life of such a Pastor – so is the film any good? Well yes and no, it is watchable in a very basic way. The good guys wear white and the bad guys black. There is no subtlety here at all of ambiguity that would help to give the plot any kind of authenticity.The acting and dialogue is terrible in places and the direction is almost missable. It is though the story that lacks credibility and the idea of marrying a Christian story with the violence of 'wrestling' seems a bit incongruous – and it is. It is funny – when it is not meant to be and cringe worthy when it tries. If you like a guilty pleasure of a film though this sort of works. I found it to be watchable but no one was preparing an Oscar acceptance speech whilst this was in production.
juanmuscle I loved every second of this flix, I got lifted and remained so suspended on billowy clouds and just eased bax with the Saint at the helm to bear me to a better place transfiguring the temporal, transcending ennui, whereupon I was laid to rest onto the vast empyrean stardust in a providential transmutation. Kick ass job! The Reaper was incredible! Rowdy was awesome, totalee!!!! Just a throw-bax to some fun flix from my formative years and really enjoyed the message.... Good does triumph... unfortunately this is a flix so, yeah, afterwards I was a lil' let down , hey coming down isn't always easy, Yet, hand in hand with the Saint, reflecting on the lil' remembrances of this lil' gem, surely a graceful landing is vouchsafed! Pray, do give it chance, that is how I came across this lil' angel, by chance, or maybe divine providence? Who the hell knows, all I know is I had some fun! Chillexed and love it...
alcucchiara This film is an excellent blend of suspense, satire and humor. It captures the attention of the audience in the first five minutes...so don't come late to see this movie. The acting was convincing, although one would expect that there will be no Oscar nominations for any movie that espouses Christian virtues. Too often critics will intellectualize their review of movies, such as this one, hoping to discredit some aspect, such as the plot, the acting talent, or the directing; however, keep in mind that those critics oftentimes applaud violence and disrespect for decency, and viciously attack those moors of American society that have made America the great nation it is today. The Masked Saint teaches through this true biography that although there are villains in the world, "good" oftentimes does prevail when one has faith. Maintain an open mind when watching The Masked Saint and you will want to stand and applaud like I did at the refreshing ending.
Perry Hartman This movie is NOTHING like any other faith based film ever created. For one, it's based on a true story, so whether if you think it works or not, IT IS TRUE. Two, it's quality will not disappoint. Professional Wrestler Chris Whaley (Samuels, in the movie), quits wrestling to become a Pastor. Now if this doesn't intrigue you, I don't know what will. The story is incredible, the wrestling is great, the characters are superb and the quality is like no other faith based film ever produced. If I had three thumbs, they all would go up. A GREAT MOVIE! This movie changed my life and I think that is the #1 purpose for a faith based movie. Many were overly critical about the film, but not once did they ever complain about the cinematography. Why? Because the quality is AWESOME!
