Countdown (Jerusalem Countdown)

I saw much more worst movies than this.

I think the main issue here is that people don't like the movie because it is a Christian movie. If it wasn't, the reviews would be better. In another words, people has a prejudice against Christian movies.

Now, the movie itself:

First things first: David White should leave the acting to other actors. He's good as director, not as an actor. But the acting in the general is good.

The plot is interesting, captivating, and, contrary to other opinions written here, I don't think that push so much the Americans as the good guys against the "bad guys". Any Chuck Norris or Steven Seagal movies is more pushing that this one.

I will recommend this movie to my friends and other people as well.

A very pro-Christian flick. Bad acting, no storyline, no sequence of events, stock characters that do not fit in to the story. I could go on forever with the things that sucked about this movie forever. I could not stand watching it beyond 30 grueling minutes.

The makers of this movies might have had all the best of fundamentalist Christian intentions, but the baseline of the story seemed like mud- slinging at the Arabs nations. At one point it felt like was back to being a Christian seated in a church being told how the Islam is our problem.

Please do not watch this movie if you value your creativity or even mere common sense. These characters should not set a foot in front of a camera again.

I'm not a Christian but I'm willing to suspend disbelief for the sake of a good script. Show me Jesus turning water into wine or raising the dead, and if it's presented well and is well-intentioned, I'll buy it the way I'll buy a trip into the future or a haunted house. And I wanted to like this movie because I do believe in defending the world against those who believe that the worse it gets for ordinary people, the better it is for the cause of some self-righteous violent anti- Western revolution. But the conviction with which the characters-- and even the government-- are shown to accept Biblical prophecies, and not just the prophecies themselves but a particular leap of interpretation regarding the prophecies, doesn't get sold here. It's just stated. The action sequences are fine, but a little time should have been sacrificed for some explanation of a convincing, reasonably detailed parallel between prophecy and reality, and if that parallel doesn't exist in the real world (as I think it doesn't), then reality could have been fictionalized a little. Maybe the problem is that the movie didn't want to obviously fictionalize because it didn't want to look as if the point of view it promotes is based on a fiction.

Beware potential viewers, this movie has TWO major negatives that make it a doubly awful flick:

1) It's script and plot are 2 steps BELOW made-for-TV. 2) It's clearly created by a pro-Christian organization to proselytize.

Problem is, even if you are a bible believing fundamentalist Christian, the movie is still awful. The script is unbelievable, but even worse is the long pauses between statements, when actors talking to one another. Why do they do that? Don't you know that to make it believable - ya gotta talk normal actor folks! Please don't waste 80 minutes on this.

My rating 1/10.

I can't remember the last time I've seen such a poorly executed movie. I'm glad I rented it with my free Redbox promo code because I wouldn't want to waste $1 on this movie. I don't know what was worse, the predictable plot or the feel-good religious references. Either way the scenes seemed to drag on forever and the acting was horrid and drawn out as well. The actors were trying to pump emotion into scenes that which made it seem fake. Regardless, it's a far cry from movies like Die Hard or Armageddon. I wouldn't classify this as an action or a suspenseful thriller, because there was no action, suspense or thrill. Just simply a commercial for religion,in my opinion. A bad one.
