Revelation Road 3: The Black Rider

The acting is great, the plot is great, everything about it is awesome. Only an atheist would have a problem with this movie because of it's Christian content.

The third and currently last of the Revelation Road films has star/producer David A.R. White now firmly established as a Christian road warrior n the best tradition of Mel Gibson.

The bad guys who control a nice chunk of Southern California led by James Denton try to make a deal with him to bring them Robert Gossett who they're told is a subversive.

Gossett is certainly that. In fact he has a specific role mentioned in Revelations and the Deity has White earmarked for a part in helping Gossett on hi mission.

For a while these end time movies were becoming a cottage industry. This one is no better r worse than some.

Maybe David A.R. white will have the lack Rider ride yet again.

Its really bad,the acting is bad the budget is bad,there is no plot except Christian hidden agenda feeding you reason to become Christian. the locations are seemingly just random normal places,there is no mood no way to tell this is the "apocalypse" its basically regular people walking around in their everyday clothing with some ski goggles or a scarf.

the plot is so bad you don't even care,the characters are less developed then regular commercial. its pretty obvious some church or movement funded this b movie so they don't even care about acting plots or anything.

you start to fiddle with other stuff while watching because your brain is simply refusing to take it in.

b movies can be bad in a good way but this just bad bad.

Two years have passed since "Josh McManus" (David A. R. White) has lost his wife and child to the event known in some Christian circles as "the rapture." In those two years all government activities around the world have essentially given way to a mob mentality in which many small towns and urban areas have succumbed to for survival. To that effect, when a companion of his is stabbed Josh drives into one such town where the mayor, "Drake" (James Denton) makes a deal with him to try to help save his companion's life in exchange for his bringing back a doctor that left that same town a while ago to follow a man known as "The Shepherd" (Robert Gossett). Seeing no real ethical problem with this Josh agrees and sets out on his own to find the doctor. At least, he thinks he is traveling on his own. What he also doesn't know is that Drake actually only wants to find the location of "The Shepherd" for his own nefarious purposes and has no real concern for the well-being of his wounded companion--or his promises for that matter. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film didn't seem to have the same effect as its other two predecessors mainly because some of the characters simply weren't that believable. It also doesn't help that the ending opens itself up for a sequel which may not ever be produced. In any case, although not a bad film necessarily, I didn't get nearly as much out of it as the previous two films in this series, and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.

"Black Rider: Revelation Road" is to the Mad Max series what "Christian Rock" is to Rock and Roll. If you're feeling generous (or desperate) you might say it was better than nothing. On the down side, there is way more religious talk than you're going to want to hear unless you're already an Xtian believer. The plot is repetitive, and ultimately nonsensical, even when the Xtian prophetic angle is taken into account. The soundtrack is bombastic crap that is absolutely awful. On the plus side, there are a few halfway decent fight scenes and some of the actors are competent, if not exactly inspired. David A.R. White, who plays the "Black Rider", can actually talk almost as well as he can kick so that's something I suppose.

Bottom line, this movie is not worth wasting time on. Rating 3/10
