Very Disappointed
I was a big fan of "War Room" from the same creative team, but this effort is not a worthy sequel. The guys that start the company (govworks.com) seem to be a couple of dopes out of their element from the word go, and all the "we aren't a business, we are a family" BS was just flat out stupid - no wonder they failed. That aside, what is really lacking in the movie is a narrative that gives the viewer more info on how the company is really doing when the spaghetti hits the fan at various points. We know the business is running into problems, but no real details are provided - just the two guys screaming into their cell phones. Too bad - better organization and background narrative to go along with the human element would have made this a much better documentary.
