6/10
Both tasteless and intriguing...
23 November 2006
Pregnant woman in the present day comes to believe the fate of the world may actually hinge on her unborn baby. Religious propaganda with suspense-thriller aspirations is mostly overwrought, but has enough chutzpah and magnetic performances to nearly make it worthwhile. Demi Moore is very good in a leading role that, if played too broadly, might've lapsed into camp or cliché; Moore is surrounded by frenzy, and yet she keeps a convincingly cool head and an open mind (though the director undermines her appeal with a possible suicide sequence--featuring Demi nude--that is rather tacky). The movie is ultimately thought-provoking and entertaining, though the screenwriters fail to follow through with their own set-up, rewriting God's Word in the process! **1/2 from ****
