The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Perhaps this movie was released a year too early. If you look through the reviews you will see many who say that persecution against Christians isn't happening. For those that truly believe that, you're either ignorant of current events or woefully prejudiced. Globally Christians are being horribly executed and here, in the USA, there is no longer a legal right to voice opinions according to one's own faith.This movie is about truth and lies, about good versus evil, about government going beyond its given rights. It's not about Christians being persecuted. It's about agendas being forwarded without the consent of the people.In a country where the media controls what is and is not distributed for consumption and most people not willing to seek out the truth, it is a look into the near future. Our legislators are approving legislation that they have not read and was not written by those we have elected to handle this job for us. The people's rights are being quickly overtaken. This movie is about what can, and probably has taken place to control those who will not submit.The acting is superb. The story is excellent and the suspense handled like mainstream movies. I would not agree that it is a 'Christian' movie. You will be on the edge of your seat. The main character says 'If you take away a man's freedom to speak his mind in a country founded on that very principle, then we have no country at all'. These are cautionary words for people of any faith and so 'ripped from the headlines'.

So full disclosure I am an atheist who went to see this to know how Christians perceive that they are being persecuted in America or are being persecuted in other nations, I got nothing of the sort. So what did I get? I don't know.So our protagonist is a Christian presumably Catholic as you find rather late in the film living in what I can only assume is an alternate history America wherein the only difference is that this bill attacking his faith would not be utterly unconstitutional, said bill would attack his faith by mandating all religions give all other religions speaking time at their place of worship. If you are even passingly familiar with US law you will note this is highly illegal and even if it wasn't it appears 90% of America is Christian in this film and this would also attack other religions in the same way so they would not pass it nor would I as an atheist, I can think of literally no one who would approve of this bill at all. So he oppose this as anyone wold but in this world he is presumably the only one and thus is framed by the entire government from the Police to the Secret Service for murder, a murder that even our protagonist questions if he actually committed. Then in a very broken story he gets acquitted and gives a speech at the White House who never actually stopped pushing this bill but still let him talk because... well the film never says. So what about this speech? Not in the movie, it just cuts to black.Pros? Well i did not feel like I was being preached to... so that is good. On that note it also feels like this is not even a pro Christian film, just a bad action film and for some reason the factions are Christian guy V Government that is insane.Cons? I hated all of the protagonists and antagonist in this film alike, this film has no message, to many plot holes to count, and even by the standards of Star Wars this film is utterly unrealistic.

I thought the movie was well made. I thought the acting was great except for the little girl in the movie. She was looking at the camera in her scene. Other than that the acting was good. I thought the plot was interesting and a refreshing twist from the usual Faith based movie genre. Personally, however, I thought the movie was highly lacking in any real inspiration. I was put out that the priest is shown lighting up a large cigar and that drinking is portrayed as a normal Christian activity for ministers of the Word. That said, I can very well understand someone who stands up for the Word of God being a target of attack by those who would like to see the "order" of things on the religious scene to change. All in all I give the movie a 5 out of 10... equal on pros and cons in my opinion. I didn't hate the movie. I didn't love the movie. Would I recommend the movie? Not really.

I thought the movie was well done and reflects the undercurrents that are negative to the founding principals America. Persecuted has all the elements of the fallen attributes of man. Provoking to get the viewers to have to choose the way, truth and ultimately the eternal disposition of their own souls. The viewers must choose, not to choose is a choice on where you stand on matters of eternity. I would highly recommend people going and keeping an Open mind and you will understand how our apathy is destroying America! The time to act is now! a great president once said "there is no left or right only up or down" . The tyranny in America is accelerating so fast this true movie could be considered a prophecy of things to come very soon. All parts was well acted.
