Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
svenjergensen I try not to post anything bad about movies. If a movie is bad I move on and don't waste my time. But... DEAR GOD, Danny Glover, how can you have fallen this far? What happened? What wrong turns have been made? I can't even begin to explain the poor quality of this movie. Nothing about it makes any sense. The director tries to do some kind of "Crash" thing where he shows a bunch of random people and how random events bring them all together. But God and the Devil are playing chess (randomly) Then there's a standoff, and then there's a chick with a sword. I have no idea what the hell is going on. And literally everything; the camera work, costumes, acting, editing, all of it, are terrible. This gets 2 stars only because Birdemic is a thing, and I can at least say this isn't THE worst movie ever made.
jcjs333 I haven't seen a flick this bad in quite awhile. For starters, like other illiterate shows, the dialogue has , at least , 100 vulgar, trashy, totally unnecessary 'words', mostly the 'f--k' word. The 'f--k' word used to have an 'impact' when used sparingly to give ooomph to an attitude. In this show the use of 'dirty' words, stupid dialogue is exploding all over the screen and , for me , nothing but irritating. I watched about 15 minutes of this awful fiasco but couldn't handle anymore. This is a lousy movie. Acting is poor. I'd have to force myself to watch this but someone would have to pay me. There's nothing about this flick worth diddly.
logopolis Einstein once said "God doesn't play dice", here God (Danny Glover ) plays chess with pure evil Lu (Vinnie Jones ) for the soul of a wayward priest (Sean Astin). Their chess board is projected into the real world as a neighborhood bank under siege. The chess pieces are projected into the real world as bank robbers (black) and bank customers (white). Pieces are moved and people perform actions. Pieces are captured and people die. Not a great movie but I'd give it a good C+. Lenses and sound are good, directing and cinematography are good. Dialogue and acting fair. I watched it, I liked it. I would have enjoyed it more if I had understood the purpose of the contest earlier.
jsalern1 You would think a movie with Danny Glover and Vinnie Jones would be worth a watch, right? WRONG! Not this flick! Wow, the dialogue was so bad, and not just badly written, but badly acted out too! Cringe- worthy! Every 3rd word is f***ing, and it grates on your nerves after about 10 minutes of it. The story is so discombobulated, it is so jumbled and contrived. It is like they tried way to hard to be a hipper version of a Tarantino flick. Way Way WAY too hard! I can't believe how many quality actors are in this movie, they should be ashamed! I couldn't even get to the finish, it was THAT BAD! What a waste of money! What a mess!!
