This films biggest crime


Is not the obvious clichéd religiosity but the fact these characters are not very well written. I just don't care about them one bit so there is no draw at all in this crapolla.

Not too mention the laughable acting and predictable plot. The trailer gave the whole film away

My favorite trope of these kind of movies are the fact that they are want to show the evils of modern "secular life", but the filmmakers are too squeamish to show them doing anything really awful or self-destructive.

As a result, the average viewer is left scratching their head about what horrid sins these characters supposedly committed that left them in such despair that they needed to be "saved". It's all "tell, don't show". As a result, the story becomes unbearably didactic and hysterical.

"Nope, Hipster nonsense. I'm out."

How can you comment without having seen it? Pollack is brilliant and the movie will be a smash hit. Number one movie by screen average the weekend of October 4th.

I am able to conclude what I think from the trailer. I'm not into it and I honestly think you've over estimated how well this will do.

one can probably make comclusions about the plot, etc, of this movie just as i was able to read the little description of the plot and know that Kevin Pollack was playing a gritty, hard-bitten manager/producer/music-business schemer in this movie ...

it ain't that hard to know exactly what this movie is about ... and that it will have a very positive, god-fearing, faith-proven ending by looking at the poster for the film ... a bright flash of light in the sky as the girl lifts her hand up without the devil-horn, hard-rocker salute ... all you need to know ...



take care,
