    Better than I expected that's for sure..

    This is one of those movies where you don't expect a lot out of it, but it ends up being way better than you thought it would be..

    Unlike maybe other action type movies in the "B" category, where you expect maybe something half decent and it doesn't perform..

    This is sort of one of those B movies that is well worth watching.. Much better than most other action type movies out there..

    Well I guess I should not say its an action movie, but it ends up being one but actually has a solid storyline behind it as well and some funny moments..

    Some cheesy humor but the good type of cheesy..

    I guess what I would say its got sort of that Kickboxer type feel to it.. Decent story, decent buildup, decent action..

    Wouldn't say expect some spectacular movies or anything .. We are talking WWE wrestling type stuff here.. But definitely good enough to get your blood pumping..

    The Masked Saint-Great Movie

    Very entertaining and uplifting movie-you will feel better when you walk out of the movie than when you walked in-

    Great to see a clean, well acted, feel good movie for a change.

    Brett Granstaff stars as the main character in his first leading role, does his own stunts, and did a great job!

    The movie is inspired by the true story of Chris Whaley who was the actual Masked Saint. The movie is not only for wrestling fans but for all, as it has a great message about a man and wife that see the good in people and stand up for what they feel is right. The supporting cast does a great job too.

    Definitely recommend it to put a big smile on your face!

    The Masked Saint

    Don't pay much attention to the reviews from the atheist cheap seats. They don't get it or never will (Emjay 61066) . The movie is very inspirational at A time when we need such things. You must take it for what it's worth a true story of a great man doing great things. Sorry there is not enough sex or violence or big named stars. The true star of this movie is Dr. Chris Whaley who gives of his time freely and ministers now to hundreds of firefighters in need of his spiritual guidance. The is a great movie go see it. If you like the movie Courageous or Fireproof then you will like Mask Saint Sorry Emjay I will pray for you

    Give This One a Chance

    I wasn't sure when I first started this one. A pastor who wrestles at night? It's a little strange upon first glimpse, but after beginning to watch it, I was pleasantly surprised. It's a good reminder that God reigns over every square inch, even professional wrestling. Any Reformed Christian would appreciate this one.

    Awesome Movie!

    This is a great movie for anyone!

    It has a very interesting story that's full of positive life messages on topics of bullying, domestic violence, faith and acceptance.

    Nice to see a good wholesome movie without curse words left and right.

    This is Brett Granstaff's 1st lead role in a movie that he co-wrote and worked hard training to do his own stunts-which is quite amazing in itself.

    It was entertaining, has great acting, I cried, I laughed and I loved the wrestling too!

    It was quite intense as if I were in the ring with The Saint!

    This is a movie you should get out to see!
