Looked through some of the approved list xtian movies today, don't even remember how I went down that tangent, and the entire lot, all 6, completely suck. Bad acting, stilted script, simplistic plot, treacly music. Give me Bob Guccione's Caligula any day. John Schneider has appeared in real movies/TV - not award winning material all the time, but legitimate entertainment vehicles. He is wonderful as Jonathan Kent in Smallville. Looking at his IMDb c.v. he appears to love this genre, but he cannot save this mess.
The timing in the dialogue is so off, it is almost as though a deaf/mute were setting the verbal pacing. It pulls you out of the movie (something a movie should never do). And the script is exactly the same as every other xtian movie I watched today: poor misbegotten soul starts out Stepford happy, wanders off the path (drinks,drugs,sex), and finally finds redemption, usually through a kindly black character. What's with the black salvation archetype in these works. Believe me, we are not falling for the "we like you so much now, we make you the redemptive savior character" nonsense.
