I could write volumes about this movie. It’s a ticking bomb. Well-acted, well-directed, and unnerving. Marcia Gay Harden is superb and terrifying as a religious nutjob who our hero (perfect everyman Thomas Jane) and his reasonable allies can’t stand to be around. She’s so fanatical and dangerous that the good people would rather take their chances with the CG creatures. There’s a strong moral here, too: don’t give up hope. Be good. Be kind. And persist. No matter how bad things look. Quite possibly one of the most cynical movies I’ve ever seen. Worth seeing, but may dash your hopes for world peace.
