The Reliant: pro-2A, faith-based action film

Post by Curzyk »

Not sure what I think about this, but it is a "local" project, over in Zanesville.

Link: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-reliant--2#/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Their synopsis:
A pro-Second Amendment, faith-based action movie starring Kevin Sorbo, Eric Roberts, Brian Bosworth & The Benham Brothers. When the dollar collapses, widespread rioting and looting occurs, and five children tragically lose their parents in the chaos. Armed with a couple of their Dad’s weapons, they struggle to survive in a stretch of woods on the outskirts of their burning town. Facing starvation and threats from encroaching gangs, they begin to doubt God’s love. Upon whom will they be reliant?

I'm looking forward to it. The local aspect makes it that much more realistic in my view.
I went ahead and ordered 1, shipped upon release.

When I went to the website the only theater listed was Huber Heights 16, and the tickets are 12.50 each for one showing at 7pm. Plus, isn't that theater a criminal protection zone?

I think I'll wait for the DVD.

Maybe the link uses cookie information.. When I clicked on it now I had Texas theaters pop-up, which is where I looked at last for my brother's area. My appologies.

Interesting just received this email.
It appears there has been a coordinated effort on the part of over 250 registered IMDb members to give us a ZERO rating, even though they haven't even watched the movie. It's content discrimination, folks! They don't like our message. Be mindful, a third of our 13 First Place film festival awards are from secular film festivals, which means we aren't so controversial as to lose at secular festivals. But even so, the Leftist's cause trumps objectivity when it comes to IMDB.

How can you help? I'm glad you asked. Since, this IMDb is one of the websites that shows up first when someone googles "The Reliant," please help us raise the rating. Register at IMDb (if you haven't already) and give us a TEN. Encourage friends and family to do the same. You can even leave a review in writing to complain about the crooked rating policy that allows folks to rate the movie before it comes to theaters. Thanks.

Movie is out on DVD now..

The movie is pretty much what they presented it as, very faith based. I was a little disappointed in the lack of muzzle discipline and the "Warning shots" fired into the air though. I see the USCCA must have made a contribution to the film, as there was a USCCA Booth setup at the entrance to the local hardware / gun store, and also a close-up of Kevin Sorbos (Forget the character name at the moment) USCCA self defense Insurance card in his wallet.

Tim Schmidt of USCCA actually had a small role in the firearms store scene of the movie.
