Moved too slow, wasn't terrible and the acting was fine but didn't really lead much of anywhere and was pretty disappointing in the end. In some movies people describe a traumatic event in their past in a 2-3 minute scene, and this felt like the origin story for said traumatic event. Not unwatchable, just really dull.
This feels like one of those christian TV-movies but with a lot bigger budget. It isn't really exciting, there isn't much going on but it didn't bore me despite the bland story. And the story is bland, it's ripped out of reality... nothing supernatural, no action, no explosions, no mustach twirling villains and not really any heavyanded religious clichés.
Walton Goggins reprises the role of a less bombastic preacher he practiced in Justified and Alice Englert is a welcome silent breeze throughout the movie.
This is more of a movie about a love triangle than a religious cult. Most of the characters were dull and the story is slow.

Needed a bit more fire and brimstone to really work, and a closer examination of the faith preaching highlighted in the film. Not a bad movie though, but it could have been better.
