It's like they intended to make Christians look dumb

Warning: Spoilers
The cinematic elements and quality performances from Alexandra Harris, Brad Spiotta, and Paul Anthony McLean were not enough to save this dud. The script was noting short of head shaking and laugh worthy. You immediately get the sense this was created as a vehicle for the music career of Josiah Warren. However, it does the opposite as his singing was nearly as terrible as his acting.

If the film is intended as pro-Christianity,again it fails. They create this world that the only people who have the answers are the Christians- yet they have no wisdom to offer but "All we can do is pray" or worse "Jesus Loves You, they complain about the world and individuals as being "beyond salvation"

They create a world of gangsters, school violence, on criminal that is completely devoid of realism. None of the situations created are resolved- not even preacher boy commanding the devil out of his brother's shooter. They create the end of the world situation and resolve it by saying the world is given a second chance.

What passes as a love story is the son of the preacher is RUDE to other woman while he has boring fantasies and an even more boring reality with the woman that is apparently the "Wife that was chosen for him." Vomit- Puke- NO romance - No personal choice or accountability. Let's BLAME or THANK GOD for whatever happens in our lives!

Get with the Fundamentalist program
bkoganbing19 November 2017
The Prophet's Son is the one answer fits all Fundamentalist film for the ages. Drugs, school shootings, teen pregnancies, nuclear war all we all have to do is get with their program and these things will vanish.

The film concerns a pair of Christian families who suffer all kinds of tragedies, the Benjamins and the Oscars. The lead character is internationally acclaimed Christian rockstar Josiah David Warren who gets a few songs to sing. All of the aforementioned things happen during the course of this film and the two families lose a few members as well.

Best scene in the film is Warren performing an exorcism during visiting hours and through the glass divider of the man who wounded his brother during a robbery. In a secular audience that would have gotten a few hoots in any theater.

Strictly for church audiences and may be not even there.
