August 18, 2008So I'm a fan of the book. The movie did a pretty good job of transferring the fairly suspenseful story and the characters. My only complaint was the insertion of Frank Peretti.

Todd Hertz, Christianity Today

Frank Swietek, One Guy's Opinion
The story makes little sense, while offering few surprises and even fewer scares...it might be a cinematic act of faith for some, but simply as a movie it's a travesty. Full Review
