Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Finally, a Christian Action Movie
If you are a Christian and like action movies, this is a movie for you. There are car chaces, foot chases, criminal violence and most everything one would expect in a typical Hollywood action movie - except that there is no bad language. This isn't a movie for preteen kids. I would say that this is the best Christian oriented action movie so far.

When most Christians in Christian movies are obnoxiously religious, it is refreshing to see a completely different portrayal of believers. ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - No truth here.
One reviewer praises this movie for being "a Christian movie right up there in the secular scene." Unfortunately, that's what I find wrong with it.
Yes, it has an interesting plot with twists and turns, and yes, the acting is very convincing. In that sense the movie could be called "good." However, if you care for something to be true to the Bible you might be disappointed.
The main spiritual "truth" is "God has already forgiven you", so as to suggest that God's forgiveness is automatic ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Saw it in a theatre
My favorite thing about this little surprise of a movie
was the music! There are several songs in there from
Keaton Simons. And remember, we're talking almost five years ago. He's just having his album released this year...so it's a little gem, showing the filmmakers being way ahead of their time.
Now you can google him and he's all over the place. Back then he was just a teenager who wrote songs, which somehow found their way into this really entertaining movie.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Message of Redemption Wrapped Up in Action Flick
Pretty good show. Yes, it sounds cliche`... the whole long lost twin coming back and assuming your life. But I actually found this story fresh. There are few films that address issues of faith and guilt and accepting forgiveness without being vaguely warm-fuzzy-feel-good or over-the-top-evangelical-preachy.

I liked that the main character was both a minister (or about to be) and had serious spiritual and relationship struggles. And that the other main character was a rough-edged criminal ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Solid drama with "made for TV" feel
This tale of two brothers mixes drama, comedy, and spirituality into a sweet story with a touch of suspense. Twin brothers take radically different paths--one to the priesthood, the other to prison. The priest is wracked with guilt over a childhood tragedy, while the convict is wracked with bitterness and some jealousy. The focus is more on the brothers' psychological and social inner battles, than on the actual action and drama that surrounds them, giving the movie a light-hearted feel.
