Director/co-writer/co-producer Jon Gunn's Christian agenda is evident without being intolerably sanctimonious, and he's a competent filmmaker who shows sign of having a little style.
By Maitland McDonagh FULL REVIEW

The filmmakers cannot sustain enough momentum to keep their film from seeming contrived and preachy.
By Kevin Thomas FULL REVIEW

No mere crime drama, but rather the latest in the recent resurgence of independently financed, spiritually themed pics that seek to couch religious dogma within the shells of B-grade genre entertainment.
By Scott Foundas FULL REVIEW
