Like the dainty Cameron, poor Currie is far too young to have been cast in such a weighty role. I mean, Buck, in a line typical of the film's comic-book dialogue. And the next seven Left Behind movies too, one guesses. Clearly the video sales of this movie show utter lack of quality is not an impediment to big sales in the Christian ghetto. They have yet to learn the difference between art, even explicitly Christian art, and propaganda.
Good intentions are no substitute for craftsmanship.
Having your heart in the right place does not count for anything if your head doesn't know how to tell a story, if your hand can't write good dialogue, if your tongue can't speak lines convincingly, and your eye doesn't know where to aim the camera. If only that were true when it came to moviemaking, alas, the woebegone Left Behind would be a masterpiece instead of testimony to calamitous feebleness in the faith-based arts.
