Holy Rollers: The True Story of Card Counting Christians

2012 • 90 minute

Meer oor hierdie fliek

Holy Rollers follows the rise of the Church Team, arguably the largest and most well funded blackjack team in America. No one expected a group of Christians to be in the business of card-counting. In their short existence, they take millions from casinos. In spite of the team's phenomenal success, many team members deal with the personal conflict of how to be a Christian and count cards for a living. Then the team's winnings decrease drastically and questions start being raised as to whether someone might be stealing. Is it possible? Of course. But do they trust their teammates? Absolutely. Maybe.

No such thing as a hypocritical Christian... they are simply using the title for clout. 1 John 2:4 The one who says, "I have come to know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; Obviously they don't know what a Christian is.

If you rate this film (or prejudge it) based on your moral feelings on the topic you are an idiot. This is a well made and balanced film. If you hate gambling and don't think Christians should be involved with it, this film is for you. If you love gambling and wish Christians would lighten up about it, this film is for you. If you are interested in the subject of card counting and want to see how it works...you get the idea. Give it a watch!

The movies I love best are movies that make me think/question. Holy Rollers did just that. For the one star reviewer that said it was about "typical Christians"....I would say there was nothing "typical" about this documentary.
