Well, this one is obviously due to the mid-term election, as the movie appears to make it quite clear that the message is that the faithful have to take control of the godless government. But I suspect the influx of cinematic abortions has to do with some good Christian capitalists creating a blossoming movie production company.

They've got a formula of making cheap movies that pander to Christians drooling at the thought of pleasing Jesus by paying to see a good Christian movie, and so they pump them out repeatedly and laugh all the way to the bank.

I loved the fact that the trailer flashes "Scandal" and "Surveillance" on the screen, two relevant issues in our day that could make for an entertaining movie...

But then of course, it's not about any relevant scandal or surveillance at all, it's about the government targeting... a Christian minister...for preaching the Gospel. LMAO. Sure. If it had been an imam, it would actually be somewhat realistic. But Christians persecuted in..America? Please!

I heard that movie got a 0% on one of the ratings websites in America....Rotten Tomatoes I believe.

It did indeed.

My answer to him would be to go fuck himself.

Well, actually, the lowest Metacritic score ever was a 1, tied between "The Singing Forest" (a past lives, Nazi romance), "InAPPropriate Comedy" (the sequel to Vince Offer's previous contender for the worst sketch comedy movie of all time, Underground Comedy Movie), "!0 Rules For Sleeping Around," (which I never heard of until now), "Bio-Dome," (No comment), and "Chaos" (a movie that basically plagiarises "Last House on the Left," except more nihilistic.) So, while it's an absolutely dreadful score, it's nowhere near the worst-reviewed movie on the site.

Well, there are places in the world where Christians are targeted for violence. That said, and not in anyway to justify it, but a lot of it is direct payback for Christian colonial politics.

Weren't most colonies founded during the age of increasing secularism post 1648?
