There is an adage in writing show don't tell. This movie doesn't show, it only tells. And tells and tells and tells.
There is nothing here for the viewer to interpret. The script tells you exactly what everyone is thinking and how to think and feel.
There is man that is lost in life and and old man that is not lost and shows the younger man the way.
There is bad guy trying to buy an old man's land. He won't sell so henchmen are sent to force the man to sell. The bad guy is of course connected and knows some judges because this explains everything. We never met this bad guy because this is shallow plot device.
There is a lot of talking about god and how god has answers and praying for each other. This is done in very heavy handed and has literal preaching. This is more telling not showing.
It's hard not to groan when the younger man, who committed armed robbery tells the older man he is the real bad guy for not being a father to a child. Turns out this is a child he had with "another women" and the other women bounced out of town preventing him from doing the right thing, which he fully intended to do.
The young man has to be talked out of executing one of the henchmen but instead they just collect ids because that'll solve it.
Given the shooting locations the cinematography is shallow. The writing is lazy writing and the result is forgettable experience.
I'm sure a church going Christian would disagree because this movie was written directly for that audience.
