The Masked Saint

Very entertaining and uplifting movie-you will feel better when you walk out of the movie than when you walked in-

Great to see a clean, well acted, feel good movie for a change.

Brett Granstaff stars as the main character in his first leading role, does his own stunts, and did a great job!

The movie is inspired by the true story of Chris Whaley who was the actual Masked Saint. The movie is not only for wrestling fans but for all, as it has a great message about a man and wife that see the good in people and stand up for what they feel is right. The supporting cast does a great job too.

Definitely recommend it to put a big smile on your face!

All the negative reviews didn't dampen my heartfelt love for this film! Besides, I recognized Roddy Piper in the cast -- surely just before his untimely death. Although it was so good to see Rowdie Roddy again, the story has warmth, heart, and all sorts of Good Stuff. So when you get tired of the nonsense that Hollywood typically wants to fill you with, tired of ray guns, monsters, and the like, give this film a look -- you won't be disappointed.

I wasn't sure when I first started this one. A pastor who wrestles at night? It's a little strange upon first glimpse, but after beginning to watch it, I was pleasantly surprised. It's a good reminder that God reigns over every square inch, even professional wrestling. Any Reformed Christian would appreciate this one.

Brett Granstaff plays Chris who is an ex Professional and masked wrestler. He retires to become a Pastor in a parish that is on the wrong side of the tracks. Once there he sees the crime and violence and a church in the grip of a megalomaniac and a congregation that is dwindling beyond the point where the church could be economically viable.

So he resurrects his old job to help his new community. This film is based on the true life of such a Pastor – so is the film any good? Well yes and no, it is watchable in a very basic way. The good guys wear white and the bad guys black. There is no subtlety here at all of ambiguity that would help to give the plot any kind of authenticity.

The acting and dialogue is terrible in places and the direction is almost missable. It is though the story that lacks credibility and the idea of marrying a Christian story with the violence of 'wrestling' seems a bit incongruous – and it is. It is funny – when it is not meant to be and cringe worthy when it tries. If you like a guilty pleasure of a film though this sort of works. I found it to be watchable but no one was preparing an Oscar acceptance speech whilst this was in production.

This is one of those movies where you don't expect a lot out of it, but it ends up being way better than you thought it would be..

Unlike maybe other action type movies in the "B" category, where you expect maybe something half decent and it doesn't perform..

This is sort of one of those B movies that is well worth watching.. Much better than most other action type movies out there..

Well I guess I should not say its an action movie, but it ends up being one but actually has a solid storyline behind it as well and some funny moments..

Some cheesy humor but the good type of cheesy..

I guess what I would say its got sort of that Kickboxer type feel to it.. Decent story, decent buildup, decent action..

Wouldn't say expect some spectacular movies or anything .. We are talking WWE wrestling type stuff here.. But definitely good enough to get your blood pumping..
