Audience Member Murder drama with a weak plot -- (Spoiler alert) Televangelist -- I mean religious broadcaster -- John Luther opposes legislation called the "Faith and Fairness Act". Because of this, he's drugged, videotaped in bed with a woman, and framed for her murder. A U.S. Senator, members of his ministry's board, and even the Secret Service -- and possibly the President -- are behind this frame-up. Eventually, Luther is cleared because some witnesses videotaped the murder on a smartphone. The problem with the movie is that the details of the "Faith and Fairness Act" are barely revealed. Bits and pieces of the movie suggest that it's enactment would mean big wealth and power for Luther's ministry and maybe the government, but they're very vague. More details on the Act would have provided a much better understanding of the reason for Luther's frame-up and the plotters' drive to get rid of him. The description of the movie reads: "Persecuted depicts evangelist John Luther as the last obstacle in the way of sweeping religious reform. When a Senator frames Luther for the murder of an innocent teenage girl, an unprecedented era of persecution is unleashed. An evangelist turned fugitive, Luther's mission brings him face-to-face with the coming storm of persecution that will threaten the entire Christian community in America." The description is misleading. Without more details on the "sweeping religious reform" that would come about from enactment of the "Faith and Fairness Act", this movie is only a murder drama. No "era" or "storm" of persecution is revealed in the movie. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best movies of this genre. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Bad propaganda, Jesus is embarrassed of this Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member As far as Christian movies go, this one is kind of an odd ball. I do like that it tries something different and it has a good cast but the movie is all over the place and it's pacing. The movie also isn't shot very well and some odd placements of the camera. The story is full of potholes too and in the end the movie becomes too preachy. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member The persecution has already come to America - Christianity is the only religion you can bad-mouth here. All other religions are "protected" by political correctness umbrella. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member I heard about this movie from my brother who watched a review for it from The Bible Reloaded YouTube series. We watched it yesterday to laugh at it because the reviewers made it sound hilariously bad. That's what I got for the first half. But once the second half was done, I realized something. I freaking hated this movie. It's just so boring and pretentious and obviously has no idea what it's talking about. And it's so hard to follow because it explains nothing. Usually movies like this spell everything out for the audience but this one just assumes that the message is so obvious that everyone can get it upon the first viewing. Bottom Line: This movie is crap. I don't recommend it to anyone. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
