Voiceless

If you wanna go see a movie that tells you it's completely OK to treat others like dirt, destroy peoples lively hoods, and enforce your own beliefs onto others; then this is the movie for you.

The summary of the movie pretty much says it all, it's complete extremist fundamental right wing Christian dogmatic propaganda that spreads the holy message that nobody should have the ability to make a choice that the church and god don't approve of. And that that's how things should be.

don't waste your time, your money, or your brain cells by viewing this movie. How anyone could give it above two stars is unthinkable, the only good thing about it is the acting is alright. not great, not even good; just passable. this movie should have been a straight to DVD without a blue-ray or theatrical release.

Just simply awful...

Voiceless - a powerful movie about a very touchy subject - abortion/pro- life stance. In the movie a discharged war veteran takes on a small inner city project. He works at building a church by using a boxing ring and other ministries to reach people in the community and draw them in. Across the street from the church is a family planning office. The flip side is that they also perform abortions. He wrestles with this and how God would want him to handle it as he daily sees women going in and out of that building.

This movie is likely to stir up some controversy. Personally, I feel like the issue is well addressed. As Christians we should not sit back idle, but what we do should be based on what God calls each of us to do individually. Most importantly, we should be supportive of each other and encourage each other, not try to talk someone out of what God has called them to do. The movie does contain some violence, fitting to the location and happenings of the story line. Several are mocked for their witness or the stand they take. The lead character has some aggressive tendencies but usually expressed in defensive mode not outright uncontrollable rage. There is a bit of tension between him and his wife, that I feel like the movie addressed in a positive manner.

All in all, I would say this movie should encourage Christians not only to take a strong stand for what they believe in, but do it in a way that would honor God. It also inspires us to be the person who makes a change, who not only talks the talk but walks the walk, the person who steps up to the plate to give assistance to those who need a way out, not just offer it with our voices. It is easy to say we are pro-life and criticize, but what are we doing to bring a reform? How many people are we willing to help? This movie is a powerful motivator and although I am sure will be viewed with much dispute, it is worth watching!

I was blessed with an opportunity to watch this movie a bit before its release in exchange for my honest opinion. I was not required to review it positively.

This film disgusts me. The statistics in it are made up, the main opinion, that criticises women who decide what to do with THEIR body, is given by a man, who won't ever get pregnant, and the film is shot awfully as well. I could write a ridiculously long review on how insulting this film is, but just take it from me, don't watch this. If you really do have a burning desire to know just how bad it is, watch the Cinema Snob's review.

For the most part, the actors did a fine job portraying believable characters. It is probably not going to change anybody's opinion on abortion. If you were against it, you will have your beliefs affirmed, if you were pro-choice, you're most likely not going to have a change of heart. If this movie was intended to show the most effective way to deal with an abortion clinic, I believe it fell way short. I don't think that is what it was trying to do. It was simply the story of one man who decided to take a stand and make a difference in his community about something that he was passionate about. The last scene was supposed to make you wonder "what happened?", but not to the point where you'd be hoping for a sequel.

I love that they are calling attention to the fact that some churches stay silent on the issue of abortion when the Bible clearly shows in stories that there is a real human being inside of a pregnant woman (Luke 2, for starters). The movie was made with a different storyline than what I've seen before and has an unexpected twist (which I enjoy), but if I'm being honest, I did not think it was well-made. It didn't move me and get me revved up to be more active in the pro-life movement (though, I already am), which I'm sure is the reaction that they would like their audience to have. So all in all- a good message, but not a great execution.
