I wached this movie without knowing what to expect... It appears that the majority of people and orginizations rated this movie with extreme bias. They gave no mention of the acting, sound track, and scenery in this movie (Even with a poor I wached this movie without knowing what to expect... It appears that the majority of people and orginizations rated this movie with extreme bias. They gave no mention of the acting, sound track, and scenery in this movie (Even with a poor storyline it should rate at least a 6 by itself!!!!). The movie was incredibly gripping, character development was astonishing, and itis based on a true story. If anyone rated this movie less than a 7, it is because they are bias because of the Christain nature of the film. Both sides, anti-Christian and Christian, have this bias problem. Read the posts, its either too politically correct or too religious. Anyhow, from a true critic, The most gripping and moving movie I have seen!!! Its too bad it likely won't win any awards. Expand

Good (not great) acting with very good cinematography. I was not expecting much from this movie but it powerfully and compellingly presents the themes that it wants to present. Much better in this pespect than most critically aclaimed movies today.

As a young adult, I had heard of this story that took place in 1956, where five missionaries were killed trying to save a brutal tribe of people. (One of the wives has a radio program in our area.) I had no idea concerning the details As a young adult, I had heard of this story that took place in 1956, where five missionaries were killed trying to save a brutal tribe of people. (One of the wives has a radio program in our area.) I had no idea concerning the details surrounding it. I was fascinated viewing this movie. Watching it and knowing it was a true story showed the ultimate in forgiveness. I greatly appreciated being able to see what one of these five families experienced. It was awesome to see how good can come out of such evil. Expand

I was very suprised how much this movie affected me. I knew going in that this was a low budget film based on a true story and that it may be disappointing when compared with typical Hollywood big budget fare. However, I did not feel cheated I was very suprised how much this movie affected me. I knew going in that this was a low budget film based on a true story and that it may be disappointing when compared with typical Hollywood big budget fare. However, I did not feel cheated or disappointed in any way. The scenes depicting the voilent nature of the tribesmen are gripping and horrifying. And the expected fate of the missionaries is heart-wrenching. I did not find this to be a "Sunday School lesson", in fact I felt that the "proselytizing" was kept to a minimum. And I found that I kept putting off leaving the theater for fear I would miss something. Expand

Why are so few critics reviewing this movie? Because it's "Christian"? Yet they'll go and see Deuce Bigalo: American Gigolo. amazing.

It's about missionaries, but it's not a "religous" movie either. It's about a group of ordinary people responding to an unthinkable event with incredible courage. It is gripping, touching, violent in places (but without gore), humorous, and thoroughly satisfying. It truly is a movie that breaks the mold. I'd like to see more movies like this! Expand

This film is wonderful. It is the first film since "Passion of the Christ" that has touched me so emotionally. Those who speak against it are afraid of its simple message.

I loved this film, it truly depicts what it is like to totally immerse yourself in a foregin culture. It also acurately shows the zeal with witch these and many other missionaries have for their work (we need more people like the Saint I loved this film, it truly depicts what it is like to totally immerse yourself in a foregin culture. It also acurately shows the zeal with witch these and many other missionaries have for their work (we need more people like the Saint family in this world it would truly make it a better place). Maybe Mr Fox of Tv Guide should visit the theaters again ( you have to be sleeping to miss the powerful message that this film has to offer). Expand

I thought it was well done for what it is, I went in with no expectations and felt like it told a great story. While the lines may have seemed forced at times, the acting was believable and the scenery was beautiful.

A powerful story full of emotion and drama. I would be lying if I said I wasn't moved. Yes the music was overwrought and the dialogue didn't always sparkle but the dramatic conflict never failed to engage. The movie works, in aA powerful story full of emotion and drama. I would be lying if I said I wasn't moved. Yes the music was overwrought and the dialogue didn't always sparkle but the dramatic conflict never failed to engage. The movie works, in a Dylaneque fashion, not in linear progression but in its accummulation of passion and emotion until it reaches its redemptive ending. Though it's a bit violent for younger audiences, this film is sure to spark passionate conversations from all that see it. Expand
