This is a religious film

This got several 1 stars so I almost didn't watch it. So I thought I would add another review. If you are offended by Christianity or a positive view point of guns you may not like this film, and I think would be the source of 1 star reviews. The writing and acting are not great, but that is true of many major films as well. I gave this a middle score, I watched the entire show and was entertained. So if you don't mind shows with a little less polish and recognize it is a film with a specific message you may enjoy it.

Is if the NRA had directed and funded this movie

Seriously how do movies like this get made in these days my only guess is that it was entirely funded by the NRA which then had a heavy hand in directing this movie. Basically this movie is about guns and God in other words its about the NRA. Whats worst is that it seems to be preaching to adolescents that you better get your guns because who knows when the world will end

What is this and who is the audience?

I think it is the born again market. Why in So many of these films are there so many bad guys who come right after the good family? And they are so horribly 1 dimensional? It doesn't hurt to watch, my standards are 1/10. But it hurts to think there is an audience that laps this stuff up. Some minor tweaks and these films become borderline watchable

Heavy Handed

Well that's 90 minutes I'll never get back. The description of this movie is misleading... no where does it say this is a religious movie. It's heavy handed in its preaching. The acting is wooden, and the script is non dimensional. This movie is best shown at neo-con's churches, in my opinion.

Ugh, it never ends...

This movie is just plain boring. The plot makes no sense, the acting is wooden and it just never ends! To be fair, production value is decent. They did not cheap out.

Note, the person who wrote this movie has the top voted comment here... that should tell you something...

Trivia
The brothers Dave and Jase were played by real life brothers David and Jason Benham. In 2014, HGTV dropped a reality TV program that the brothers were going to host because of their conservative Christian views on LGBT issues.

Goofs
Rick appears to be a gun enthusiast, yet he fires two warning shots into the air at different times. Any trained shooter knows that doing so is a waste of ammunition, and it's also dangerous since the fired round will come down and could cause injury or death. In both circumstances he could have legally used deadly force.
