Rumors of Wars (2014)

For decades now religious conservatives have complained about Hollywood being a Gomorrah of unwholesome sin. But this film wasn't made outside of Hollywood and yet it contains all kinds of violence in the name of defending Christianity. Christ said that Christians should turn the other cheek when struck and follow his example of his deeds in the garden of Gethsemane. Not only does religion play a heavy hand but the right wing conspiracy theories are shoved down your throat. The movie makes a point of telling you that the godless are out to control or kill the faithful. Give up your faith or die! Taking a Que from Muslim extremists where you must become a Muslim or die. This film is Conservative religious crap that was truly offensive, The American Taliban is strong with this film

I had no idea I was in for this kind of biblical punishment when I started watching this film, but it was immediately evident that the Message was going to overwhelm the plot.If you are a biblical literalist into End of Days prophesy, then I guess the message makes sense. I just got bogged down in the ham-handed New World Order RFID nonsense and the anti-government paranoia.The acting is atrocious, the dialog is cumbersome. This feels like a really weak college film school project rather than a commercial effort.I'm not opposed to a Christian message, I thought God's Not Dead was a well done film with a heavy Christian message, but Rumors of War is lame.

Bad acting, bad makeup, bad artwork, bag CG, bad story line, forced underlying message...UTTER CRAP. Same yourself the pain and skip this movie!I get that the author wants to share a Christian message but please do a better job with everything else. Let the story progress without forcing the message to merge with the story line.I watched the entire movie...so you don't have to. The random additions of rhetoric and theology messes up the story and creates an unnatural progression. The bizarre conspiracy theories combined with the rampant paranoia is reminiscent of fear mongering.

Listen, I really hate to be that kind of person to give 'the lone star', but this film is really, really rough. Aside from the wardrobe and make up departments, the rest fell on their faces. The story felt disjointed, the special effects were poor, and the acting...well...Attention Christian film makers. I know you all feel that the message of the story is the most important thing. Well, you are wrong. Sure you need a solid message, but how you communicate that message is more, or at least equal to, the importance of the message itself. If you all insist on using Ben Davies, at least persuade him to invest in some acting lessons. He is so robotic, so unconvincing it seems like he either just got the script the day of filming or has zero life experiences to draw on. One other thing: Stop casting Eric Roberts, period. Look him up on IMDb, as of right now he has 75+ films in progress. He is seriously taking every script that comes across his desk. He has faded into irrelevance because of his poor judgment. He is not a name that will boost your film sales, so just stop...please.On the upside, the supporting cast were all pretty good. But their performances were over shadowed by too many issues.
