    Stylistically-Stinks / Substance-Superior

    If your ready to sit down and view a tear jerking drama, look somewhere else. Think of the worst 80's movie and this one might be on par (but probably not).

    BUT, if you watch this movie more as a documentary about how people get hooked into the Watchtower cult of Jehovah's Witnesses, this film will teach you more than even the Witnesses themselves know. That's because a JW is now allowed to ingest any material that views the Watchtower organization critically (even if it's factual) or listen to any religious teaching other than it's own, else be shunned & excommunicated/dis-fellowshipped.

    This film exposes some of the unusual doctrine & practices of the Watchtower which the Jehovah's Witnesses are taught to believe are Biblical.

    That being the case it's really hard to rate. If being entertained is your main motive for watching this, I'd have to rate it at about a 1. However if you want to learn about the JW's and the Watchtower, it's one of the best I've seen even given it's age. I'd rate it at a 9. But I'll give a little deference to the fact that one might find it entertaining to see a good portrayal of Jehovah's Witnesses, so I'll settle on a 6.
