Im gonna get some shit for this one but what the hell. Just because a bloody action movie has a plot revolving around the bible and the goal of continuing the traditions of the christian faith, it's no reason to recommend it. Did I have a problem with the films clear biased nature of christianity? No. What I had a problem with was the films apparent lack of even remotely trying to create a story involving real people. These people are all card board cutouts without any real sense of individual identity. Why am I suppose to care whether or not the beautiful Mila Kunis survives to the next scene? Maybe she might get naked is my only thought. What is the sinister Gary Oldman's intentions and why? Cause the script needed a bad guy is my best guess. And as for Mr. Washington, in the last few minutes of the film a secret is revealed about his character that is so implausible it made me laugh out loud.
But then again when dealing subject matter of religious origins maybe it is appropriate that the film be so ridiculous.
