My Review:

This is the 5^th movie in the installment of the series. This one is different from the others because of how they added the pastor running for Congress. I thought the film was very timely being released right before the election. The film attempts to encourage people to vote especially at the end of the movie. This film is a classic battle between separating church and state. The pastor has a mission to deliver hope to a nation that has become hopeless. The cast special highlights are Governor Mike Huckabee playing himself and the Newsboys singing and also the band talking a little. There is even a newer song from the Newsboys that is featured in the movie. The major cast members are David A. R. White which has been all the films as the pastor, Dean Cain (which has been in popular films and many Christmas movies, Isaiah Washington (Grey’s Anatomy), Samaire Armstrong, (The O.C.), Ray Wise (Fresh off the Boat and X-men: First Class), just to touch on a few. I really liked how Ray Wise played the opposing politician and did an excellent job in portraying one. I really enjoyed the debates and the conflicts that was spread throughout the film. There is also a fun twist from one of the characters that people won’t see coming but it helps the film along. I liked how the film tried to help others realize the power that is in the people and how we have a voice and we can take back our power. This starts with voting and putting back our trust in God as a nation.
