The Reliant

I think it is the born again market. Why in So many of these films are there so many bad guys who come right after the good family? And they are so horribly 1 dimensional? It doesn't hurt to watch, my standards are 1/10. But it hurts to think there is an audience that laps this stuff up. Some minor tweaks and these films become borderline watchable

This got several 1 stars so I almost didn't watch it. So I thought I would add another review. If you are offended by Christianity or a positive view point of guns you may not like this film, and I think would be the source of 1 star reviews. The writing and acting are not great, but that is true of many major films as well. I gave this a middle score, I watched the entire show and was entertained. So if you don't mind shows with a little less polish and recognize it is a film with a specific message you may enjoy it.

Well that's 90 minutes I'll never get back. The description of this movie is misleading... no where does it say this is a religious movie. It's heavy handed in its preaching. The acting is wooden, and the script is non dimensional. This movie is best shown at neo-con's churches, in my opinion.

I really did want to like it. I support the messages of belief in a higher power, and active self protection. But the delivery was awkward and ham-handed and had all the goofiness of the After School Specials that made religion uncool in my youth.

This movie was a blatant product placement scam. It attempts to appeal to our visceral beliefs by bypassing our intellect. The message was "Buy guns, and concealed carry insurance, because.... G-d."

In case the fear of roving bands of armed looters wasn't enough to send you running to your local (or online) sporting goods store, they also threw in a line about fighting tyranny. OMG. That just makes no sense. If there had been a tyrannical government, it would have squashed the uprising. That's what tyrannies specialize in. But the director couldn't resist throwing in one more dog whistle catch phrase.

But don't worry. We will remain G-d fearing gun owners in spite of this movie.

Heavy handed evangelism, confusing leaps in the plot, inhuman characters, hilariously bad acting. Casual violence mixed with gun worship. Honestly no redeeming qualities.
