Speaking from experience, a shocking tragic event, a near-death experience, does have a huge impact on a person. You do not come out the other side the same. The transformation, the coping with the event can be an ugly piece of business. This film tells the story of a group of survivors from a mass killing in a cafe. Each deals with the event in their own way. I don't have a problem with the reactions shown in this trailer. The key here is going to be in the film's resolutions, what conclusions do the characters arrive at? With the title and the imagery in the trailer they obviously look at theological issues, at least briefly. With Forrest Whitaker's ironic statement "I have faith, the question is, am I lucky?" hints that the film may have brainpower behind it.
