Convoluted and poorly made a few performances are the lone bright spot.

Honestly I would have given this movie zeiro stars if possible. The description intrigued me enough to give it a try but now I realize it was 2 hours of my life that I will never get back. I thought, secret society, American Civil War, blood pact . . . How bad could it be? Let me answer that question for you. Very, very bad. No real resolution, super weak "love" story - you don't care about any of these people and by the end of the movie you are just waiting for the credits to roll.

With the exception of a scenery chewing Malcolm McDowell, The List is not one to add to yours of movies to watch. The direction and pacing is all over the shop and the two leads cant act for toffee. It promises to pick up in the second half and instead flails around limply looking for something interesting to do.

"God's children and his enemies make the same mistake. They both underestimate the power of prayer. Let's keep praying." Let me rip that apart real quick. First off, the greedy men weren't really enemies of god, they were just greedy men. How wanting money and power aromatically make you enemies of god, who knows. Second, "let's keep praying". Dude was praying for money. He was praying for an inheritance from his dad who he hated. So yeah, he just wanted money that wasn't his. Again, greedy. In the end after much much boring dialog where the man guy jumps into a redneck country accent only when he talks to the girl (who is probably his sister) who he falls in love with he decides not to use his magic powers to kill his sister and instead becomes good (but only because he is in jail and wants to get out). So.. yea.. I would NOT say 1) that dude was good guy. 2) This movie was a good movie.

A relatively good story (or at least a good concept) cannot prevent a certain disappointment. Nothing truly logical here, and there was

Once it gets to the point, the whole thing falls apart.

Too easy, too cozy and too self-righteous. In the end, the film's own commitment to its message feels phony.
