I saw this movie in a local theater in July, and it was one of the best Christian movies I've watched. In fact, I would rank it in the top 3-5 best Christian movies I've ever seen, and the best Christian drama, bar none. The acting, plot, dialogue, music, and cinematography are all top-notch. Powerful doesn't even begin to describe it. Beyond its entertainment value, the message is a very strong and needed one for Christians: The value of the Bible. On top of all that, this movie is a suspenseful thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat all the way through. I truly didn't know how it was going to end! This movie is unlike any other Christian film I have seen. Very unique, in great ways. Also, if I had made this movie, there was very little I would change. I can't recommend it highly enough!

I'll begin by saying that I am a conservative Christian who believes the Bible is the Word of God. So, that is the perspective I have in this review. Onward... Wow. Such an incredibly well-made and impactful movie. Very hard to watch, but also very necessary, in my opinion. The acting, pacing, music, and cinematography — all excellent. There was some language and immodesty. However, those things never felt out of place. What do I mean by that? I mean that this movie didn't draw attention to those things, they weren't the focus (aside from a brief shot of a photo of a female model in a bikini). By and large, the language and immodesty made sense in context. The bad guys used language, and the bad woman dressed immodestly. There were a few times the good guys used language. But when they did, it generally seemed appropriate for how they used it. Kudos to Alejandro Monteverde for this stunning accomplishment. And Jim Caviezel showed his mettle in this film. He is an amazingly talented actor, one that is underappreciated (speaking from personal experience). I will end by parroting what Jim Caviezel said in more than one interview: Watch this movie. If you are willing, able, and mature enough, see this movie. Then tell your friends to watch it.
