Disciples in the Moonlight

This is a film about hating America. The filmmakers imagine a future that is entirely fictional and unrealistic. Then they frame themselves as saviors who protect Americans by risking their lives to bring the word of 'god' to churches, mostly back east.

I don't know what they are drinking, or smoking, but there is little recognizable in this film- little Christianity, nothing ecumenical, and nothing of any redeeming social value. This is fantasy fodder for 'in-cels.'

Save your money and buy a Bible and read it for yourself. The recent trend for poorly educated people with poor critical thinking skills and dumb-enough-to-believe-anything personalities trying to frame themselves as hero's is ridiculous!

I liked this movie so much more than I was expecting--beautifully shot, likable characters, and lots of surprises! I saw some say that this is an anti-american film and that couldn't be further from the truth. It's a What If scenario of events that are actually happening in other countries right now. People need to wake up and stop thinking "oh that would never happen in America." The film is asking "what would YOU do IF this was happening?" I get it, it makes people uncomfortable but not all Faith based films are "feel good" films, they're about asking hard questions about ourselves. See it before you judge it!

Disciples In The Moonlight (2024) is a cinematic fever dream, a glimpse into a bizarre alternate reality where conservatives' persecution fantasies run wild. It seems the only oppression they can find is in the realm of shoddy fiction, a world where their fervent desire to be silenced and marginalized finally comes true. This film is a testament to that yearning, a desperate cry for victimhood that echoes through a right-wing funhouse mirror in the Twilight Zone.

The plot is as predictable as it is ludicrous, with cardboard cutout characters spouting tired clichés about religious freedom under attack. The acting is uniformly awful, with each performer seemingly vying for the title of "Most Melodramatic Martyr." The cinematography is dull and lifeless, mirroring the film's intellectual vacuity.

Disciples In The Moonlight is not just a bad film; it's a window into a distorted worldview where reality is twisted to fit a pre-determined narrative. It's a film that thrives on fear and resentment, preying on the anxieties of those who feel threatened by a changing world. If you're looking for a thought-provoking and nuanced exploration of faith and freedom, look elsewhere. This film offers nothing but cheap thrills and hollow propaganda.

I wanted to like this and decided to ignore the many bad reviews. The idea that Christianity may someday be outlawed is not far-fetched in today's world and all over the world people are being policed for their viewpoints and speech so the basis for this movie is solid. Problem is the writing and directing are a huge letdown. This movie is more than 2 hours long and doesn't really get going in any type of action till about 1 hour and 16 minutes in. That first hour is hard to get through and I struggled to stay awake. The people who made this knew how to bring on the emotions but there isn't much in the way of thrills, suspense or action considering it's about a group of people risking their lives to get bibles across state lines. I see the effort was there but ultimately it's a failure as a compelling movie. The 4 stars is being kind of generous.

I love movies that have action and are suspenseful and this movie produced both. The acting was quality and the message was over the top. I have to say if anyone has given this a low rating, it's definitely because they have a problem with "Christian" movies in general. The story line was believable especially in the times we're living in. I highly recommend that everyone sees this movie. Disciples in the moonlight did not disappoint and you will leave the movie like we did, wondering how long we have before this could very well be a reality...Good job cast...Good job producers, you came up with a movie that's original!
