Faith Under Fire

The acting was hard to take seriously and made me laugh at scenes, also the camera work wasn't held right in scenes which made the shots look like something else is happening.

The plot is good but they didn't execute it really well and act it well making it hard to take seriously.

"Hi. My name is Dean Cain/Kevin Sorbo/Nick Vlassopoulos and I'm a christian moviestar looking for work say leading roles fitting my personal conviction. ANY work." After such an introduction I no longer expect one single word of coherence or anything remotely worth paying attention to in the following sentences. I couldn't imagine even a hypothetical scenario in which any - literally -studio executive would but laugh aloud when above named gentlemen leave the room. Apparently and unfortunately I was wrong.

Terrible film, with even worse acting. If this was a tv pilot, it would have concreted their cancellation. Clearly someone tried, but you need more than that for a decent film.

Let's start with the student film cinematography. Poor lighting, janky focus pulling, and cliché movements. Now we'll move to the the questionable editing. The movie was put together like someone found footage. Poor transitions, jumbled scenes, odd cuts. Maybe not entirely the editor's fault. I get the feeling there wasn't enough coverage. The producers either never heard of sound design or couldn't afford it. The acting was mediocre, at best, and the casting a mess. Set design didn't even exist. The directing was missing in action. So many poor choices. The director owes all the actors an apology. The entire film was like watching audition tapes. Ultimately, the blame falls on the director. He had what could have been a really great story, but lacked the talent to tell it. You can see the potential in the very few scenes that barely shown through this heap of garbage. Disappointing doesn't even cover the feeling. Bad. Bad. Bad. If this movie's budget was $2.5 million then the producers belong in jail for embezzlement.

This is incessant whining at its finest! Why is it that the religious in the US are the biggest whiners around? They constantly say they are being persecuted yet they are the ones doing the persecuting. Silly, silly film.
