I caught this movie on Starz the other evening as it was listed under drama. Overly dramatic nd extremely religious should have been more like it.
The movie starts off with a good action scene, but goes straight downhill and fast from there. What happens from here on in is a spoon feeding of trite dramas that seem to take place one after the other. The actors, and I use the term actors lightly, then of course continuously play the victims/martyrs, and not very well I might add.
Religion then becomes the main focus in the film.
We seem to aimlessly go from one drama to the next in this disaster of a film. First a car jacking by evil drug infested gang members in rural Georgia of all places, they deal so much drugs, kilos according to the gang leader, that the state police and or the federal authorities are not even involved, yea right. We are then introduced to a stereotypical Mexican who is constantly struggling to find menial labor who prays to Jesus in the hopes of finding employment. Miraculously moments after he prays he finds work, HALLELUJIA!!!! We then find out that one of the families that lose a daughter to a drunk driver while dad mopes around with the family feeling sorry for himself. I shouldn't have let her go to the birthday party, I should have danced with her in the parking lot oh boo hoo. I felt like throwing up quite frankly.
The men then make a pact to become heads of their households by becoming mini Jesuses. Because as you know women can never assume any type of leadership role in their families as it may cause their husband's penises to mysteriously shrink.
The men begin expounding how great they are and what great roles models they now that they are teaching their family about Jesus Christ and reading the Bible to their families.
Then one of the fathers who is a police officer and GASP gets caught stealing drug evidence. He ends up in prison, but apparently he is no longer a mini Jesus because of his crime.
The movie finally wraps up with one of the fathers at the pulpit in church giving a speech that made my head spin. I think if I were one of the audience members in the church I would have been rolling my eyes and yawning and possibly even sleeping. I felt like saying, look with get the message for cripe sakes, you don't need to beat me over the head to get it.
A very trite movie, I wish that I could get those 2 hours back.
