Michael Tolkin (The Player) takes New Age sensibilities and mixes it with Christian apocalyptic concepts and comes up with a confused, illogical tale about a former sexual deviant who converts and then has her faith challenged by the end of the world. Tolkin's version of Christianity is a mash of random spiritual gunk that will flummox most people who have actually read the Bible. While the film offers some concepts a Christian would embrace, these good points drown in a sea of theological nonsense.

As a film this is oddly paced and trips over itself. By the time the final act comes along the film has stumbled so many times it has lost any momentum. In addition, Mimi Rogers is an uncharismatic lead and gives a wooden performance. Her silted line readings flattens her scenes and makes this movie seem a lot longer than it actually is.

Don't let the title fool you, this is not a Christian film. For all of you who could care less if it is a Christian film I also advise that you should avoid this because it just a poorly made film.
