I'm a practicing Buddhist and I loved this movie! It presents a certain point of view - a Christian one - but it does so very well. The dialogue is riveting, the main actor is in his element; and no scene is wasted in telling a cohesive story. What it is, is great filmmaking - something that rarely comes out of Hollywood these days. So ignore the haters and watch it. You won't waste your time or lose your soul. You can suspend belief and enjoy a great thriller, just like you would a scifi or fantasy. Congratulations to all involved in making a fine movie - even if it misses out on award season!
