Production Quality (0 points)
One has to wonder what the standards are for PureFlix to distribute a film. Much like Saving Winston, Hollow, As I Stand, Without a Father, Birdie and Bogey, Running Inside Out, The Wager, etc., Saving Faith is a terrible production in every possible way. Video quality is very cheap and there are a lot of weird camera angles. Audio quality is also bad and there’s not enough of a soundtrack. Sets, locations, and props are extremely cheap and limited. Finally, editing is non-existent and all possible content—including useless content—is included. Basically, this is an awful mess.
Plot and Storyline Quality (0 points)
As a typical post-tragedy troubled character plot, Saving Faith follows a lot of predictable conventions. It is very melodramatic and refers to a lot of off-screen content, even as plenty of time is wasted. Despite this fact, there is hardly enough content to sustain a plot at all as scenes are dragged out painfully in order to fill time. Dialogue is dead as the characters are cardboard cutouts with no feeling whatsoever. In the end, if you make it that far, problems are resolved way too easily and thus, nothing is learned. Unfortunately, this is yet another throwaway movie.
Acting Quality (.5 point)
Though this cast has more potential than the rest of the film, they are still overly practiced and stiff in their line delivery. Emotions are basically non-existent and empty. With such a low budget, it’s easy to see why there was no coaching, but in the grand scheme of things, what was really the purpose of this film?
Conclusion
It’s likely that a lot of low-funded films have creative teams behind them who mean well but who didn’t anticipate the great undertaking that film making actually is. In such cases like this, it would be better to make a short film or a beta test and not release it to the public because doing so only hurts your reputation and the reputation of Christian film. But perhaps the people behind movies like this will improve in the future and surprise us all.
Final Rating: .5 out of 10 points

I’ve seen all of your other reviews. You say the same thing about every Christian film and then give it a poor rating. These films were A LOT better than you claim. You obviously have a personal issue with Pure Flix because you seem to target their movies. It seems like you have a lot of anger for whatever reason. Perhaps you should take a look at yourself and judge that. Look up, maybe He can help you.

Perhaps one reason you see a similarity throughout all of these movie reviews is because pretty much all of these movies are the same. In that pretty much all of them need extra work, because lets be honest here nobody’s getting anything out of movies like this one here. Now this most certainly has nothing to do with anger or bias based anger toward certain movie producers on the reviewers part. It just so happens that pretty much all pure flix movies are ridiculous (lets be honest here:) but you are most certainly right in that we should all look up to the only one who can judge and help us for that’s were we can find true honesty
