I started watching this under the assumption that it was some other movie, similarly titled. What reeled before me was one of the worst written, worse directed, worst played, worst lit, worst sound-mixed, etc., etc. (ad nauseam) pieces of amateurism that I have ever been tortured with.
So bad it was, I had to do a little research and find out what rock this crawled from under. Turns out that a Baptist church in the sleepy town of Albany, GA (where else?) produces "films" such as this within the confines of the church and surrounding community, under the direction of two of its pastors -- both of whom are wannabe Hollywood-types. Jethro Bodine, your time has come.
An attempt to legitimize the cast by bringing in Kirk Cameron does less than nothing to help. Most of the remaining cast is of high school-play quality. High school plays aren't all that bad, but they are usually considered spectacular only by the homefolks.
So...what we have here is an honest piece of Holy Crap. I used to think how dangerous it might be to allow assault weapons into the hands of untrained idiots. I've reconsidered, and perhaps legislation should be introduced that makes it a felony to put a camera & crew at the command of anyone who hasn't come up the ranks the hard way (you know what I mean).
This whole experience has reminded me of my personal sourness toward churches in general...instead of using money and resources to feed, clothe, house and job-train hungry people or heal the sick, they'd rather entertain. Instead of really taking compassion on their communities and serving real needs, they'd rather pretend to be Cecil B. DeMille, or in this case, Ed Wood. After all, they've got the bucks to do it.
Maybe the Baptist church in Albany, GA could open a film school...they could call it the UCLA ("Unaccredited Complete Losers Academy") Film School. Hey, if God is allowing half the world to kill itself, this could at least be a good reason to want to die.
