Slow Fade

Seeing that a number of people in this Christian film either in front of behind the camera are named Pendleton or Amstedt I get the feeling this was a family project of some kind.

Our protagonist is young James Pendleton who has grown up in a single parent household with a good mom, but who fell under a lot of bad influences and goes full blown bad when he mugs Ted Pendleton one night.

Several stages of character development are clearly missing here. But what happens is that the older Pendleton whom he mugs refuses to press charges and turns into a mentor sorts.

Give me a break, how often will that happen? I'm not sure the most unquestioning church audiences will buy this one.
