n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Shadowheart begins with a reference to Matthew 6:14 – 15. These two verses command people to forgive those who trespass against them as God forgives us for ours. We expect the film to connect somehow to this theme.It never does.In fact, there are so many murders (I lost track after eight), only a war movie could produce more. Yet of all the pointless mayhem, only one was justified or meaningful. If we were paying attention to the Bible verse at the beginning, no one was forgiven and therefore God should not forgive us.Big SpoilerYet the very last scene shows the dead wife of James Conners, the main character, leading him through the white light to what lies beyond – presumably heaven. We expect to see something about forgiveness and we get pointless retribution.I did not like this film not because of the violence. I think the Godfather Saga is a timeless masterpiece. I did not like this because it had Christian overtones. I think Fireproof is a good film that addresses the difficulties of modern marriage. Fireproof has many weaknesses, which a viewer has to overlook including what I think is an impossible problem to overcome. Still it's an interesting film. I disliked this film because it was disjointed. I disliked this film because it did not seem to know what it was trying to do nor where it was going. I would like to say that there was some sort of redeeming feature, but I don't think there was.I gave it a four because I kept hoping something coherent would happen. There was enough writing to create hope, alas never fulfilled.

This movie was a terrible waste of time and $1 at Redbox. I have not hated any movie this much in years. I should have recognized this as direct to video, but I didn't because it was on Redbox and I was looking for a movie to watch with family who liked westerns. It makes for a good drinking game. If you drink every time something ridiculous is happening, you will be falling down drunk before its over. Please waste your money or just throw it away. Don't rent this whatever you do. It just gets worse as it goes along. I can't really relate how lame this film is. Movies are just not this bad. I am shocked that this was ever released. Its like a bad car wreck. You can't look away, except in this case you can, and you should. Like another reviewer said. NO REDEEMING QUALITIES.

The first thing I pay attention to in watching a movie is whether I care about the characters. I couldn't bring myself to care about these people, mostly because the writing and acting was not good enough. The feel of the whole thing was that it was amateurish. The story didn't flow in a way that felt real. Also, I don't like stories where there's not a good resolution or denouement, even if not a happy ending. This didn't leave me with the feeling of satisfaction. The theme seemed to be relentless evil without any real hope of the good guy winning out in the end. Without giving away the end, I'll just say that if it was meant to tie up the plot, it failed to work for me. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone.

I really think me and my kid could have come up with a better screenplay. This totally predictable movie was one stereotype after another. Bad guys were tired old clichés and the hero was a total ZERO. What a loser. By the end of the movie I was hoping he would lose out to the bad guys! How do movies like this get into circulation? This movie showed me no creativity at all. Even the cinematography was bad-I found myself critiquing shot angles and I never have done that before. The dialog was clipped and poorly delivered, the character development was awful, the screenplay showed no imagination at all. Don't waste your time with this movie, read a cereal box instead, you'll get more out of it!
