The movie stars Ving Rhames (Surrogates, Day of the Dead), Ricardo Chavira (Desporate Housewifes tv, Rockaway), Dean McDermott (Allen Tracker, Bloodknot) (ok has anybody seen Bloodknot), Kate Todd (Grizzly Rage, Booky Makes Her Mark), Dwain Murphy, and Kim Roberts (Wilderness Survival for Girls).
The plot is Rhames takes over his fathers church after serving 15 years for murder. He tries to help a drug runner, Murphy for the neighborhood drug dealer McDermott.
Im rating this movie as a C-. Over all I would say skip it its not that good. The first scene at Rhames parents grave site, I assume they died while he was in prison, was lacking and it set a bad tone for the rest of the movie. Chavira does an ok job as a TV preacher, he has one good scene outside the police station, but not great. I think they were going for the characters having bravado. I dont know if its the script, acting or directing but it just does not get to a place you can say wow thats great.
I saw a connection between Rhames characted and the role Billy Bob Thourton plays in Slingblade. They both killed someone, got sent to prison (or a mental instution) and yet there violence never really leaves there personality;
The ending of the movie is good but not enough for me to say go and stream the movie. In stead stream Slngblade or see the 30 or so minute short, with Molly Ringwall, that the movie was based on.
