Budget does not affect acting. Well at least it shouldn't. The screenplay for this wasn't bad at all, its kind of like the Field of Dreams of Christianity, in a sense. The format being video, no one can expect a good quality, but if the acting wasn't AWFUL by everyone except for Burghoff, I'd be able to look past it. I can't take the lead actor seriously, I can't take his blasphemous wife seriously, and I definitely couldn't take his friend/co-worker seriously. The kid's, both under the age of 10 did better. If this can be bought, and re-created with good actors and a better format, it can be a great film, but this version isn't. While I applaud the creator, and understand the difficulties in independent filmmaking, I believe that the director was focused too much on his message, and not enough on actually creating a durable movie.

I had to go back and look at the time it was made, but in any case, I really found it difficult to believe in certain characters. Not always looking for the best "performance" in similar films, but I really wanted this to be better throughout, because it was a faith based project. Gary Burghoff was great. I also felt Elizabeth Powers was decent as Debe Duncan. Interestingly, she does not show up as a member of the cast except in the end crawl; even though she played a supporting role. Found myself wondering why that is. The story line did pick up if you stick with the film. However, I felt it needed further development to be more impact-ful with the message.
