Just watched this movie on a religious cable network and I thought it was a pretty good movie for a low budget, local talent, outing. Sure, the acting isn't great and there are problems with the plot. Why are the bad guys so ruthless? However, the overall theme is important and the twist at the end is kind of heartwarming. Also, there are little snippets of humor by a lot of the background actors. Listen for little witticisms and watch for some half way decent physical humor. The story is kind of like THE GOONIES only not as well done. Since this is a Christian film, the moments of Bible reference are fitting and well done. The biggest drawback is in not tying up all the story strands. Some things are never resolved. Overall, it's a film anyone can watch and enjoy. Far from perfect, but not at all heavy handed. Light-hearted and amusing.
