In God I Trust

I came to IMDB to see if someone had an explanation for this movie, but no such luck. Apparently, everybody thought it was great. I was wondering throughout if this was a faith-based flick as there were various references throughout extolling the virtues of religion, ie Christianity. I'm now wondering if the positive reviews are primarily due to the religious aspect. The movie itself is a poor man's version of Crash which tries to weave various story threads together. However, these threads are so loosely woven as to be mainly individual threads and nonsensical. The ending was beyond laughable with no rhyme or reason other than exploring the limits of arbitrariness. The writer and director apparently missed the class where resolution of a story is explained. This movie resolves nothing after the buildup which was a tour de force of manipulation and a hodge-podge of events taken from current headlines.

This movie had so much potential to deliver a great message ...then about halfway through it was like they couldn't figure out how to tie it all together so like a big box of puzzle pieces...just threw it up in the air and let all the pieces land wherever !

I just want to rewind time and NOT watch it .

There was absolutely no " plot " at all .

At first I thought the guy who was standing by his broken down car was most likely an angel or something cool like that .

But , nope and the other " hillbilly " type guys that just kept randomly showing up where they were but yet ....Why ?

Nothing made sense .

My 9 year old could write something more interestin

Just awful.

I only gave it a 3 because the one young black man sang a very beautiful song in it.

The end .

I am a mixed race kid from Canada and I was raised in a small community. Growing up for me was challenging at times, so this film really speaks to me and makes me feel stronger about who I am and where I came from.

I highly recommend this movie.

Great movie! Movie has you wanting more... a sequel perhaps?

A sprawling, surprisingly epic blue collar crime drama that rarely belies its low budget. Big themes handled with a mix of nuance and didacticism, but the different story threads weave together in surprising, fresh ways that manage to not feel contrived. A few standout performances and bold directorial choices lift this above its weight class. Worth a rental.
