RSTC: Reserve Spy Training Corps

There is no way they spent $300,000 on this movie. $20k tops. It was obviously not shot on film (DVX100 is my guess). The actress was hot and the actor definitely thought he was. I felt sorry for the actress with the lines she had. I think the message of "God has not given us a spirit of fear" is a good one, but when a character overtly said it for the 126th time it was like a sledge hammer! The sound production quality was to par, the obvious goofie 3rd tier CG car scenes were, uh, not so much. Come on guys, not so corny next time. Witherspoon takes an explosion from dynamite from 2ft away and he only has black shoepolish marks on his face? Please please please attempt some form of believability. Oh, and the compression on every red shirt in this movie was super pixelated.

RSTC is a clean, wholesome, exciting movie for kids. Its obvious goal is to teach kids about the Bible and specifically II Timothy 1:7, "God has not given you a spirit of fear." If you are looking for a good indie film then this is not for you; if you have a family with kids in elementary school, you will enjoy this film. Sure, the car chases are CGI and not the best, but I've seen worse on TV and at least they are visually compelling, and actually are interesting as CGI animation. I'm obviously a Christian and appreciate the scriptural message, but it's not so ram-it-in-your-throat as to be annoying to someone who is not a Christian. But it's not a movie I don't think for older kids (teenagers) and young adults unless they appreciate the message.

Bottom line, if you have elementary kids and are tired of the Christian entertainment options or "kids films" that have unnecessary sexual innuendos or other questionable content, get yourself a copy of this film and enjoy it.
