The "acting" is cringe worthy.

The usually wise charactered Fisbourne plays a total fool and dillon is super annoying. The plot is ridicolous and seems half way through they ran out of creativity and didn't know how to end it. WhyThe "acting" is cringe worthy.

After seeing the movie I was very impressed. I thought the movie was intense and kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The choice of actors was amazing.

I thought the movie was intense and kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The choice of actors was amazing. The main character was the type that you were drawn to and just wanted to see him win. After reading the other reviews I really don't understand what movie some of them were watching if they were giving it a 2 like honestly what movie were you watcing. I admit it's not the all time best movie i've ever seen, hence why I gave it an 8, but to give it a 2 is pretty harsh. Sorry but you guys need a lesson in good movies. Expecially when people give a movie like this a 2 and they'll give movies that stink in my opinion really good reviews. Guess it's just my opinion but to me you guys are wrong and this movie was awesome. Definatley worth a trip to the movies.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a retelling by distortion of an Old Testament story, specifically Abraham and Isaac. Cochrane is the anti-Abraham who repeats the theme family. Everything Cochrane says is a lie. The film is nihilistic, about usurping the father, The Name of the Father, which is represented by the policeman, by the impotent dispatcher, finally by the hospital as impersonal institution. Tyler believes in the Name of the father, Cochrane is perverse by attempting to occupy it personally. In the end the major conflict is whether belief and faith will yield prosperity. The film answers yes, but not without violence. Note the literal fall from grace of the Lucifer in the story when Palmer steps off the high building which Tyler has climb to heaven and receives salvation. This Isaac is not sacrificed, tho not due to divine judgement and design rather to his own persistent opposition to the crowd.… Expand
