especially the part where the guy gets his power from god
(surrounded by enemies, looking up towards the *light*:
"have you forsaken me?"
-pause-
catches the glint of a cross around one of the enemy's necks:
"thank you")
...especially the part at they end where they end up in heaven...um...huh?
and especially especially especially the part where they bring in child abuse and sexual abuse and never bother to be serious about it?? i mean, violence is one thing- sex is one thing- but using a child's sexual abuse as a plot device to lend your creepy vengeance fantasies credence, while never actually resolving those issues, is just gross.
i mean, did i really have to watch a scene with a child (what is she supposed to be, 7???) is almost butt raped with a twig by two other 7(????)-year-olds but is saved when her vengeful Jesus loving brother comes to the rescue and breaks the little boy's arm???
i'm not really sure what the moral of this film is but i think it goes something along the lines of...a homicidal Christian brother is a better guardian than a whore...??? or, everyone sucks but then you're on a beach in heaven? ?? whoring is wrong and will mess up your children and the only answer is to die and go to heaven where everything is OK?
ugh. i'm sorry i watched this movie. the only critical thought it sparks is..."omg whyyyyy did i have to watch this..."
