Faith Under Fire

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.

"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.

Not sure why these kinds of movies can call themselves Christian. Not an ounce of genuine Christianity to be found.

Cheaply made, badly acted, unchristian message and a total mess

The acting was a bit mediocre. The writing was a bit contrived, especially at the beginning. There could have been better character development. It started slow but by the midpoint it picked up and became a very powerful movie. Oh, and have tissue handy. You'll need them.

And as for the Atheists and Agnostics who hunt down Christian movies to down vote them, we get it. You're too closed-minded to understand and accept people can believe differently than you. God is a big God and it takes a lot of negative emotional energy to maintain your rejection of Him and that negative energy overflows into the bitterness and anger you pour out on those of us who do not reject Him. But there's something you need to understand. Some movies are targeted to people with specific lifestyle/philosophies/worldviews and those movies not targeted to my core philosophy I don't review since I'm not the target audience, so my opinion is meaningless and irrelevant. Thus your reviews are equally irrelevant.

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.
