My first response to the movie came about early in the movie; with no credits, no voice-over, and very little in the way of distraction, the first ten minutes set the tone for the rest of the movie. These moments capture how alone, how driven, and uniquely equipped the protagonist is his mission.
The story is well paced, the material is interesting (if a bit dark), and it is at times shallow and intriguing; although I enjoyed the movie, I was ultimately disappointed in the story arc as well as the resolution.
This is not a movie I would encourage the whole family to watch; some more adult themes, a bit too much violence, and a resolution that offers a vague hint of a sequel.
The most redeeming aspect of the movie is that it captures a very realistic depiction of what walking in faith looks like under relatively realistic conditions.
