The Reason for the Skewed IMDB Rating:
First, the rating is skewed because it was produced by Dinesh D'Souza, enemy of the State and those the State has under their spell.
The Christianity Part:
I use to be a militant atheist, and would have given this 1 star in the old days just because the protagonist is Christian. Now, I'm a thousand times more accepting, and appreciate the many things we agree on. But it really doesn't matter so much here because there's very little religion anyway.
(You DO NOT have to be Christian to appreciate this film)
My Favorite Thing:
The bad guy!!!! He's so freaking good. He's right up there with my favorite bad guys of all time (Die Hard, No Country for Old Men, Drive).
Budget and Acting:
I am always concerned about these two things with non-Holywood films, but the production value and acting are excellent. The lead, James Caviezel, is consistently good in everything I've seen him in, and everyone else holds their own. No one took me out of it for a second. Again, the bad guy though.
Only Small Issue:
There were a couple minor shortcomings in the action, but like I said, minor. You may not even notice them. I've seen so much action that I've become very difficult to please in that area, and this was still more than good enough.
Overall:
Not many movies can keep my attention anymore, and with one exception of checking my phone, I was rapt the entire time (that says a lot).
Very glad I came across this film. Off to find out what else the bad guy is in.
P. S. Even though it says 2019, I'm pretty sure this came out September, 2020.
