The Wager

I enjoyed this film immensely and it told a very real story about Hollywood and how it can destroy people. Nothing wrong with a bit of fiction, but this story was more - you don't have to be an A-list star to move people and emotionally take them on a journey - I guess I am sentimental and I cried through parts of the film. It almost appears that non-Christians, atheists can have a field day knocking Christian movies - but there was much more than a religious film here - there was a person experiencing real problems due to the Paparazzi wanting a story at any cost. The ability to knock someone down and pin a rumor on them. This story managed to change the view of the Oscar winner, but in real life sometimes the truth doesn't come out at all. Well worth watching!

Actor must confront his faith as he withstands trials in private and public. Struggling to do the right thing he loses focus but there is still hope lurking underneath.

This is a low budget movie that looks a bit high budget. (if you can have such a thing). Its well produced & directed.

The acting is good. Randy Travis is not a great actor, but he did well for this part. At first, you think "Randy is a bit one dimensional", but then you realize the part he is playing. In fact, the more the movie progresses, the more depth he brings to it.

The stunts are of the highest quality, the message is timeless and it is well scripted.

One criticism is the length - its a bit too short. But then again, they say a good movie is made on the cutting room floor.

Well done to the producers.

More please !

Let's face it.When it comes to movies that express Christian beliefs and values,you are not going to get the Hollywood heavyweights.There is no one named Depp,Hanks,or Penn.They wouldn't be caught dead anywhere near anything like this.About as good as you are going to get are a country music singer and a few former sitcom actors.With The Wager,it's not about great performances from the actors.As long as they don't just stand around and look like they are reading from cue cards and are giving their best effort,I am satisfied with that.It's not about dazzling special effects.Don't need those.It's about the message,and it is presented well.

Choose. To stand with the world and be judged by God, OR Stand with God and be Judged by the world...

A great Christian film for those struggling in world. An inspiration to stand strong In the world no matter the worldly cost!
