Persecuted

About this movie

America's most respected religious leader, John Luther (James Remar), is the last obstacle to the passage of legislation that would require all religious leaders to give other faiths equal time. When Luther refuses to support this bill, sinister political forces frame him for the murder of an innocent girl to get him out of their way. As an evangelist turned fugitive, Luther must stay alive long enough to prove his innocence, seek vengeance against the girl's murderers and expose corruption at the highest levels of politics and religion. It's a mission that brings him face-to-face with the coming storm of persecution that will threaten the entire Christian community in America.

Ratings and reviews

Dam* religious morons. It's hilarious how the description blatantly points out that the main goal is to silence other religions as if it's a good thing. Guess what "christians", jews had your "savior" brutally murdered, and Jesus is the most quoted Prophet in the Quran simply because Jesus was an Islamic Prophet, not a quasi-jewish one...

Like the Left Behind series, and Fireproof, this is yet another religious film that tries too hard to vilify the secular world. Did you know that there are actually cool, collected Christians out there? Not with bullshit movies like this representing them you wouldn't. I'd rather roll through some cacti and watch The Passion of The Christ all day than watch this schlock again.

A thriller that dares to confront without holding its punches (even leveling a few at Christians), this movie delivers exceptional visuals with a mediocre story.
