Summary
Reviewers say 'The Reliant' delves into moral and ethical dilemmas surrounding faith, survival, and the use of force. Kevin Sorbo's performance is lauded, yet the film is criticized for its heavy-handed approach and contrived plot. Dialogue is seen as preachy by some, while others appreciate its spiritual and ethical themes. The portrayal of faith and Second Amendment rights sparks polarized reactions, highlighting the film's ambitious yet contentious blend of action and profound themes.
Featured reviews
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
I really wish I could give (-) star. The most irritating female characters I have seen in a while
Heavy handed evangelism, confusing leaps in the plot, inhuman characters, hilariously bad acting. Casual violence mixed with gun worship. Honestly no redeeming qualities.
I really did want to like it. I support the messages of belief in a higher power, and active self protection. But the delivery was awkward and ham-handed and had all the goofiness of the After School Specials that made religion uncool in my youth.
This movie was a blatant product placement scam. It attempts to appeal to our visceral beliefs by bypassing our intellect. The message was "Buy guns, and concealed carry insurance, because.... G-d."
In case the fear of roving bands of armed looters wasn't enough to send you running to your local (or online) sporting goods store, they also threw in a line about fighting tyranny. OMG. That just makes no sense. If there had been a tyrannical government, it would have squashed the uprising. That's what tyrannies specialize in. But the director couldn't resist throwing in one more dog whistle catch phrase.
But don't worry. We will remain G-d fearing gun owners in spite of this movie.

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.

- TriviaThe 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.
- GoofsRick 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.
