Has anyone seen the movie "Saving God"?

I saw it at Christmas time and was wondering what others think of it.

Apparently not, I've never heard of it??

Is it a Christian movie? secular?

You can rent it at the video store. I'd only heard of it briefly. It's done by the people who made the Left Behind movies. Here's the IMDB synopsis:

Convicted felon Rev. Armstrong returns back to his neighborhood a changed man looking to take over his father's old church. The neighborhood is tough and full of drugs and gangs. Through Armstrong's tough demeanor and strong faith he tries to make a difference with Norris - a youth on the edge of falling into a lifetime of drugs and gangs. Also Armstrong must deal with his past history of violence and make sure he doesn't fall again.

The people I watched this movie with found it profound and inspiring. I thought it was quite fluffy and theologically.... shaky, off base, etc. I also found the story line to be very weak. If it were based on a true story I could have forgiven some of that, but as a fictional script I'm rather surprised it was ever made into a movie. Needless to say I've taken some flack for my opinion. I'm often accused of being too critical, so I was wondering if any other conservatives have seen it, and if so what you thought.

If its made from the same people was the Left Behind series I wont be wasting my time.
