The Reliant

I really did want to like it. I support the messages of belief in a higher power, and active self protection. But the delivery was awkward and ham-handed and had all the goofiness of the After School Specials that made religion uncool in my youth.

This movie was a blatant product placement scam. It attempts to appeal to our visceral beliefs by bypassing our intellect. The message was "Buy guns, and concealed carry insurance, because.... G-d."

In case the fear of roving bands of armed looters wasn't enough to send you running to your local (or online) sporting goods store, they also threw in a line about fighting tyranny. OMG. That just makes no sense. If there had been a tyrannical government, it would have squashed the uprising. That's what tyrannies specialize in. But the director couldn't resist throwing in one more dog whistle catch phrase.

But don't worry. We will remain G-d fearing gun owners in spite of this movie.

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

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 ..

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

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.
