    ★ 3/10

    This is one of those movies I watched and then turned off halfway through. The acting was passable, the script was slow and boring; I fast-forwarded through most scenes. I don't even know why I watched it. I just wanted to give it a chance. My expectations were low, but I didn't think the movie would be this bad. I didn't like it. It would only get a 3 out of 10.

    ★ 5/10

    Solid, but dull This is fairly cheap, although parts do look well-shot. There are some day-for-night shots that are painfully bad, and of course the bear-action is bad, because they could not afford a bear, or a big render of one. That's fine, for what this is. The characters are interchangeable and quite boring, but nothing too horrendous. The scene with the essentially forced baptism might bring comfort to some, but that sat really poorly with me, as it is a violation-disguised-as-care and while I see how you could think of it differently, to me it screams of not care, but ethnocentricity, and carelessness. Overall not a bad movie, but one that will be forgotten quickly.
