Movie that promotes atheism written and directed by Matthew Chapman. Talk about having a difficult time trying to find an audience. I read an article that stated 33% of Americans would have a hard time supporting a gay candidate while a whopping 61% of Americans would have a hard time supporting a candidate that does not believe in God.
I like Charlie Hunnam in SONS OF ANARCHY and have felt that he's too big for the small screen. He's got this smoldering presence about him. However, after watching this movie, I've changed my mind. There's nothing special about his performance. He doesn't burn with intensity the way I thought he would. Now, it could be the role or the director but still, I thought he would make a bigger splash in a lead role.
Terrance Howard and Patrick Wilson are always spot on in their performances but here, they just seem to be going through the steps. This must be the fault of Matthew Chapman's direction. There doesn't seem to be any passion in their acting. Heck, look at Liv Tyler - she's so subdued here, she barely registers.
Story might've worked on the page but probably would've been better suited on stage than on screen. Or, a better director might have been able to bring the pages to life on screen. Like Matthew Chapman as a writer however.
