This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Absolutely brilliant
A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Even Malcolm McDowell couldn't save this movie. I kept waiting and waiting for the secret of the list to be revealed, but the movie only dabbled into the unexplained, instead turning into a morality play about good vs. evil. The background music was inappropriate to the point of being distracting (the background music in There Will Be Blood is the all time worst, but that's another story). Even the romance between the male and female leads just plodded along. Several of the plot lines could have been further developed, and the amount of time spent on the prayer scenes looked like fill. Very slow moving, and the more you watched, the more disappointed you became.
This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Not the worst, but up there... one of the top 10 worst, at least.Anyway, myself and two friends watched this from beginning to end, and sadly, we'll never get that time back.So, we decided on a way to strike back, so to speak. Misery loves company, so my friends and I hype this movie up to others as a great film. Malcom McDowell is always a good selling point, so there's that. And then we usually say that despite the "Jag guy" being in it, the movie is actually compelling. We even say that though we're not big fans of the show Jag (or the show's star), the "Jag guy" really came into this movie with his A game.(Yes,I actually own the film) Well, I've officially loaned this movie out to close to ten people (along with the help of my two friends), and each and every one of them hated it as well.Mission accomplished! This movie blows.
A long boring movie that plays like an advertisement for everything 90-year-old southerners love about the deep south from Dixie flags to barbecue to woman-hating to bigotry to Christian Hymns. Horrible dialog - lots of colorful references to southern justice, calling young men "Boy", mixed with secret societies and a vague reference to voodoo. Apparently pressing on a spot of someone's blood with your finger allows you to control them, and only Christian prayer can break the spell. Slow moving, pointless, it's like a Confederate version of "National Treasure" edited together with "Deliverance". Oh, and the bad guy gets off Scott free.
The deceptive cover, title and very small hidden print of Power of Prayer tricked me into renting this movie.It started out really well and pulled me in. I REALLY liked it. Between 1/3 and 3/4's of it, the film started throwing in things that were not set up and made no sense. My first thought was, "This is not written by someone who knows how to tell a story." I ended up re-watching parts of the movie, thinking I had missed something.By the time I reached the last 1/5 of the movie, it was all BORING, ANNOYING, RELIGION THUMPING DIALOG that made no sense, said nothing, and was annoying to listen to; I turned off the sound and did a fast forward to the end.Don't waste your time with this flick.Beware of DVDs labeled Whitlow Films and Level Path Productions.And I'm a practicing Catholic.
