    Take notice

    Please, be aware that this is nothing but nonsense overhyped by either employed shills or the people involved in the production themselves. Don't bother.

    Highly Recommend! Excellent Film!

    A spectacular, gritty adventure with expert camera work and A acting. You'll honestly forget you're watching an independent film and think it's a blockbuster halfway through.

    Such talented camera work and directing. A bold script and a phenomenal story line with excellent character development.

    The casual chemistry between Drew (Dan Macpherson) and Will (Dax Spanogle) provides excellent comedic relief within a stoic and gritty film.

    Highly recommend this film to others!

    Propaganda

    All you need to know about this garbage is that it is mike pence christian evangelical republican propaganda.

    It's so stupid you will laff at it from start to finish!

    Shame on the people that sold their soul to act in this gutter trash.

    Doesn't even rate 1 star !!

    My christian mom would've enjoyed this, I didn't.

    Its a bit below-average film I fell in believing the 7.5-non deserved-score

    This is an anti-drugs film made for highscoolers educators to try to fit in a message for "the masses". Only instead of drugs is lack of faith and how God is the answer.

    Don't watch it if you don't enjoy being a christian.

    TV Drama

    Its a tv drama with religiosity. If you like films about redemption and coming to terms then you might enjoy it.
