    Summary

    Reviewers say 'The Reliant' delves into moral and ethical dilemmas surrounding faith, survival, and the use of force. Kevin Sorbo's performance is lauded, yet the film is criticized for its heavy-handed approach and contrived plot. Dialogue is seen as preachy by some, while others appreciate its spiritual and ethical themes. The portrayal of faith and Second Amendment rights sparks polarized reactions, highlighting the film's ambitious yet contentious blend of action and profound themes.

    Is if the NRA had directed and funded this movie

    Seriously how do movies like this get made in these days my only guess is that it was entirely funded by the NRA which then had a heavy hand in directing this movie. Basically this movie is about guns and God in other words its about the NRA. Whats worst is that it seems to be preaching to adolescents that you better get your guns because who knows when the world will end

    Really wanted to like this movie, but...

    We walked out after 35 minutes. Really wanted to like this movie, as the subject matter is relevant to me, but just thought it was really bad. Terrible acting, weak story line, dialog was silly and predictable and the starring actors were only in the first five minutes + may have been in later scenes but I just had to leave, it was just so lack luster). I support the message the film was trying to deliver, but it was just too much praise and no substance.. sorry, u really dislike this film...got a refund from theatre ..

    Heavy Handed

    Well that's 90 minutes I'll never get back. The description of this movie is misleading... no where does it say this is a religious movie. It's heavy handed in its preaching. The acting is wooden, and the script is non dimensional. This movie is best shown at neo-con's churches, in my opinion.

    What a waste of time

    I really wish I could give (-) star. The most irritating female characters I have seen in a while

    Hilariously bad

    Heavy handed evangelism, confusing leaps in the plot, inhuman characters, hilariously bad acting. Casual violence mixed with gun worship. Honestly no redeeming qualities.

      Rick appears to be a gun enthusiast, yet he fires two warning shots into the air at different times. Any trained shooter knows that doing so is a waste of ammunition, and it's also dangerous since the fired round will come down and could cause injury or death. In both circumstances he could have legally used deadly force.
