Acerca de esta película

On what seemed like any other day, Elder Travis Tuttle (Corbin Allred) and Andrew Propst (Maclain Nelson) are approached by Nikolai (Nikita Bogolyubov) to teach a friend. But then the missionaries experience the unimaginable - they are kidnapped, beaten, and held for ransom. While their families, friends, and the world pray for their safe release, Tuttle and Propst are tested physically, emotionally, and most of all - spiritually.

The story is great, and actually quite reality-based. Many will have a hard time believing that young LDS missionaries act this way. Well, many do. But the story is really about the struggle that these missionaries have wanting to believe that their faith will protect them, and whether they should take action into their own hands. Gritty filmwork. I enjoyed it.

Great story. Average acting. Sub par execution. Net effect: probably should be a book, not the almost-good movie it almost is.

This movie was awesome when I saw it. It was spiritually uplifting and shows that so long as you are doing God's will, you will be protected. I met the actual missionaries and I want to be like them when I serve a mission.
