I'm not one to write a review, but this one get a huge thumbs up! Roger Ebert should have stuck around for this one!

Although it was a seriously micro-budgeted film, it packs a huge wallop with masterfully done Acting, Direction, and Visual Effects. I must say it again, magnificent acting from the entire cast! What a gem of a film, with such a huge screen presence.

From the moment I started watching I was drawn into the story, and taken on a wonderful character driven roller-coaster ride with a huge pay-off at the end! Katherine Randolph was perfect in the Role of "Kim Harris" a nurse struggling to make sense of all that happens to her. Katherine's depth of a multi-layered character was absolutely perfect. Then the ever-endearing "Reverend Basil Mason" played effortlessly by Martin Horsey was smart and captivating. "Archer Stone", played by Brian Reed Garvin was just wonderful giving us a magnificent and a truly powerful performance. Why have these multi-talented actors been stuck in smaller roles, they have fantastic presence on film! Vincent Inneo was very good giving a strong performance as "FBI Agent Rocco Rinaldi". And we cannot forget child actor Carter Thomas, who was just perfect as the "Young Basil Mason", he was commanding and truly endearing.

It is amazing to me that Hollywood cannot make films like this. It is very apparent that this film was made from pure passion and a cast that was truly behind it from the beginning. With all the millions of dollars wasted on terrible films, why can't Hollywood do this?

My Hats off to the Cast and Crew, and especially the director Brian Reed Garvin for making this film! This Director will be an academy award winner if I have anything to do with it! Do Not Miss this, it is an amazing ride!

Does anyone know if a sequel is in the works?

Prime Video seems to have acquired rights for a bunch of christian sci-fi movies recently, this being probably the most confusing, poor made, full of religious nonsense and with less actual sci-fi of them all (at least I hope so).

The fun part is that, while the others are also boring, this one is so bad is good.

The complete nonsense feeling is even improved in the italian version (which has original audio and italian subtitles): they are so poorly translated that the dialogues make no sense at all in lots of parts.

One of the best: you know that "bike" can both mean "bicycle" and the fuel-propelled thing. Well, at one point, an actor is looking to another one riding a motorbyke and in italian he asks: "are you into bicycles?" "yes, they have two wheels and an engine, what's the problem?"

without hilarious italian subtitles, this would be a 2, but it gains a whole point more with them.

As others have suggested, this may be a drug laundering effort as it is one of the poorest movies i have seen in a while. If this is supposed to be a thought provoking religious movie, then i can only laugh.

I absolutely loved this movie. What a great message and great action and effects. Well done! Brian Reed Garvin has outdone himself! This movie is full of great acting and some off the wall humor. When you have a shoe-string budget, it can be hard to pull off a blockbuster. But Brian hit a home run with this one.

I was really impressed with this film. This is an intense fun family oriented film that grabs you from the opening scene. Katherine Randolph is really good, very believable, extremely easy on the eyes, and a fun character to watch. I also really liked that Martin Horsey guy who played the preacher, very funny. And I got a kick out of the FBI stuff, and the double talking silliness of that Agent Rinaldi. Although... my hat goes off to the Director Brian Garvin who pulled this thing together and had the tenacity to finish it. I read that it took 14 months to film and another year in post. Great job!

Why can't we see more films like this? It's fun, has a good story edge for a faith based film, and really paid off in the end! I'd pay $15 to see this. Best of all, I could associate with the characters. There was a lot said that I've heard myself saying and questioning. This film is a really good story that kept my attention for the entire time. Wonder if anyone has thought of making this into a series, I would totally watch it!
