Truly Dreadful Film

Just perfect...

Fantastic!

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

In a world of fake reality TV and impossible movie plots, this movie surprises with absolute reality. This must be the reason for its only slightly above mid score. While there is a place for unrealistic entertainment, you will not find it in this movie. What you will find is an absolutely astounding and realistic story. The acting is surprisingly good while not going overboard or being amateurish. After recently seeing "The Shack", I would rate this movie higher. I am truly surprised this movie didn't make more of an impact. It's not full of suspense, but there's enough to keep you watching. The last 15 minuets are outstanding. If you have teens, this is an ideal family movie. They may be a little bored with the movie, but the lessons learned at the end are well worth the wait.

What a wonderful movie. A real down to earth story. The actors added so much to the story. My dad was born on a farm, so it brought fond memories back to me. I love that the story was about faith in God without being all gussie.. People need to have more of it. I hope more people watch RUST. I didn't know Corbin could write too. Anyone of any faith should watch it. It will warm your heart. Thank you, Corbin and Amazon for making available.

Grabbed this movie last night from one of the last remaining DVD-rental places on earth, I'm assuming. Although I wasn't a big Corbin Bernsen fan during his LA LAW days - ick - I love what he's become since: so much more lovely and thoughtful and scruffy and manly:) I figured this movie would be sweet & raw & real based on the cover's synopsis and knowing it was filmed in small-town Canada (as a cynical Canadian, I even cringed a bit in anticipation of small-town Saskatchewan acting skills to come), but I really wasn't expecting the beautiful little movie which softly enthralled us for those 2 hours.The story unfolds gently - so imperceptibly - that you wonder if there IS a point to the film. But unfold it does, under the guidance of some really brilliant acting by the locals recruited within the community where they were filming. Of course we were especially blown away by the eerily genius acting chops of Lloyd Warner's Travis - gobsmacked, we were - but we were equally impressed by the actors playing Corbin's sister and father. No reason why non-actors shouldn't be able to 'act', but still...amazing.SOooo refreshing to just watch a movie with a cast of genuine people (lumps, wrinkles, awkward pauses and all) and a plot line of such understated importance. Great work.

Corbin Bernsen plays James Moore, a minister struggling with a kind of faith-based mid-life crisis. Quitting his job, he returns to his hometown to find that its people have been through their own share of crises and misfortunes - including a tragic, deadly house-fire resulting in the arrest and detention in a psych hospital of Travis, his childhood friend. Can James pull it together enough to make sense of life's unfortunate turns? And how far should he go to help his friend? Corbin Bernsen wrote, directed and co-produced this refreshingly original story. His use of unknown actors gives the film a realistic edginess that some may find fault with, but I found part of the charm. In the end, themes of doubt, faith, friendship, loyalty and hope are what makes the film inspirational, family fare.
