The most unbelievable part of this movie...


The most unbelievable part of this movie was Gretchen Carlson playing a journalist.

The movie itself wasn't as horribly paranoid as I expected.
If you've seen the trailer, or just heard the plot outline, you know everything that happens in this paint by the numbers film.

A Christian is persecuted by an evil government sellout badguy whose motivation is as absurd as the premise itself... that the government would suddenly tear away the Fist Amendment and demand that all religions merge to promote each other... huh??

The good... the film isn't as heavy on the politics or the preaching as you might expect.
It's rare to see a film with a conservative christian message that is trying to be subtle and not beat it into the audience.

The bad... the film is just amateurishly made. As a thriller, there is no depth to the characters or the complexities beyond the one dimensional story description in a synopsis.
Poorly paced, poorly written and poorly directed.
There are some decent actors but they haven't really been given much to work with
