Horrible amateur movie

To stay in the same theme: Oh my GOD what is this??

Come on - terrible script (character build seems to be made from almost random choices at times, the characters reactions to the plot are weird and not supported, the plot is weak and extremely unoriginal etc etc.), OVER-acting from everyone (except a few scenes) which is mostly the fault of an amateur director and a score and soundtrack that is pathetic and more annoying that complimenting to the cinematography ( I don't know if this movie went straight to dvd?). Like listening to the soundtrack of a B-horror movie from the 80's.

Christian movie or not - it's based on cliches! Cliches over and over and over and over again.

Thank you for your honest opinion, Mr. Successful Film Director.

I'm a born-again Christian and I have to agree that some scenes were cliche and even somewhat cheesy -- yet the film's message is heartfelt, pure and memorable.

On the contrary, this was a powerful movie, that dealt with the pressures that some have to deal with in the lesser neighborhoods, and how one person can change things around, when they keep their eyes on what is truly important.

Some of the scenes may have seemed cliche simply because you've never experienced them in real life. Believe me, they have when someone truly wants to turn away from the trash of their life.

100% garbage. Nice message I guess (not really). Absolutely no redeeming qualities at all. I'm guessing all the reviewers who praised it as "the best movie ever" have never seen an R-rated movie before? Just plain cheesy, dumb, and silly.
